Advice for Clients on Either Side of a Protective Order Hearing
In Arizona, if you or your children have been assaulted or otherwise physically abused by your spouse or someone else in your household, you can pursue an order of protection to keep that person away from you and your home.
The courts can order temporary protective orders immediately, but an accused person has the right to a hearing, represented by a lawyer, to determine whether the protective order should remain in place.
Mr. Scoresby can consult with clients who are seeking protective orders — also known as restraining orders — to protect themselves from domestic violence. He also helps people who have been accused of domestic violence know how to get fair hearings and protect their rights.
Addressing Accusations of Domestic Violence in Family Law Cases
Issues of domestic violence often come up during divorce and family law cases. Allegations of domestic violence, if proven, can have a serious impact on the outcome of a family law case, particularly in the area of child custody.
If you have been abused, Mr. Scoresby can help you strategize to protect yourself physically while moving forward with your family law case. If you have been accused of abuse, he can help you understand your options for responding to those accusations.
