Advice About Domestic Violence and Emergency Orders
If you need advice about resolving an abusive situation at home, defending yourself against domestic violence accusations, or getting a court order to stabilize an emergency situation, contact a family law attorney at Lasiter & Jackson in Phoenix. Our law firm helps people meet the challenges of a crisis at home and find lasting solutions.
We estimate that approximately half of the family law cases that we see have Orders of Protection in place against a spouse either at the time of filing or during litigation. There is no question that some of these domestic violence allegations are unfounded or false. Oftentimes, a party will obtain an Order of Protection to gain leverage for child custody or visitation issues or to obtain exclusive use of the residence.
If you have an Order of Protection in place against you, our law firm will work toward getting it quashed or modified. We achieve this goal by investigating and presenting your side of the story in court. If you have serious concerns about the safety of your children or yourself, we can help make sure that the protection you need remains in place for as long as necessary.
Our lawyers can also help with Emergency and Temporary family court orders
Crisis situations that need immediate resolution can come up under circumstances that have nothing to do with domestic violence. It might be necessary to obtain a court order to register a child in school, authorize emergency medical treatment, or arrange emergency child custody. It may also be necessary to obtain temporary orders regarding who will pay community debts, temporary custody and parenting time(Visitation), and exclusive use or home or vehicles. These temporary orders remain in place until such time as your final divorce, paternity or custody case has a final resolution.
Our experience with the Maricopa County family courts enables us to provide reliable advice and swift intervention in emergency situations of all kinds.
