Dallas Orders of Protection Law Firm
Attorneys Representing Domestic Violence Victims throughout Dallas, Texas
An order of protection is a civil court order that is created to stop instances of domestic violence, child abuse or spousal abuse. Protective orders prevent the people listed on the orders from making physical or verbal contact with the people who obtain the orders. The main purpose of an order of protection is to prevent victims from incurring future harm or being subjected to future abuse. Once an order of protection has been issued in a person’ name, he/she will receive notice of the order and will have to comply with its’ terms. If the person does not comply, he/she may be arrested by local law enforcement and may even have to spend time in jail.
Often times, domestic violence victims are unsure of what actions they must take after they have been subjected to abuse and maltreatment, which is why it is always advantageous for these victims to seek representation and advice from a knowledgeable domestic violence lawyer. By working closely with a domestic abuse attorney, victims can try to obtain orders of protection, which will prevent their abuser from:
- committing acts of violence against them
- making contact with them
- entering their home
