If You Are Experiencing Domestic Violence

No one should live in fear. If you are being physically harmed, threatened, stalked, or emotionally abused by a spouse, partner, or family member, you have the right to seek legal protection. 

Connecticut law allows victims to petition the court for a restraining order (also called a Civil Protection Order), which can prevent the abuser from contacting you, coming near your home or workplace, or having access to shared children.

In emergencies, a temporary restraining order may be granted the same day, based on your sworn affidavit. A court hearing is typically scheduled within two weeks, where you and the other party can present evidence before a judge who decides whether to extend the order.

The Law Firm of Kevin Emerson helps victims of domestic violence file for protection, prepare for hearings, and address related family law matters such as child custody, child support, and divorce. He can advocate for your safety and help you build a better path forward.

If You Face False Allegations

Being accused of domestic violence, especially in the context of a divorce or custody dispute, can have devastating consequences. A restraining order can impact where you live, your ability to see your children, and even your employment. False accusations can be emotionally traumatic and legally damaging.

Attorney Emerson believes everyone deserves fair treatment and a chance to be heard. If you face exaggerated or untrue allegations, he can work to protect your rights, challenge the claims against you, and present a clear and compelling case to the court. With his help, you may avoid long-term consequences that can arise from a misunderstood or manipulated situation.

Timing is critical whether you are seeking protection or defending against a restraining order. Hearings are scheduled quickly, and the outcome can significantly impact your legal rights, especially in ongoing family court matters. You need an attorney who can act swiftly, prepare thoroughly, and advocate confidently on your behalf.
