What Is Domestic Violence and What Protection Orders Exist?

Domestic violence includes physical and psychological dimensions. It also manifests as economic violence, sexual violence, and coercive control. Threats, stalking, and repeated harassment are part of the phenomenon. The law allows urgent applications for protection orders. We work to restrict the abuser’s access to the victims.

Types of Orders and Protections We Handle:

  • Urgent protection order: prohibition on approaching the home and workplace.
  • Protection of children: distancing from the children’s educational institutions.
  • Firearms prohibition: orders for temporary or extended confiscation.
  • Stalking and threatening harassment: protection in cases involving former partners.

Representing Victims and Defending Against False Complaints

In violence cases, a rapid response is critical. You should approach the police and request an immediate protection order. We assist with medical documentation and with collecting messages and recordings. Our team builds the case from day one and accompanies you before the welfare and police authorities.

Conversely, we also handle cases of false complaints. Protection orders are sometimes used as a tactical tool. We represent clients in proceedings to vacate such orders, exposing contradictions and manipulative use of the legal process and presenting a full evidentiary basis to defend our clients.

The Link Between Violence, Support, and Custody

Violence proceedings directly affect custody and support. The court may limit parenting time in cases of danger and may order supervised visitation.

Where an allegation of violence is purely tactical, we act with determination, connecting the violence file and the custody file strategically. The family law department operates in full synchronization across all proceedings – adjusting arrangements to child safety and examining the financial implications of separation.

Frequently Asked Questions – Domestic Violence & Protection Orders
What is the difference between a protection order and a restraining order against threatening harassment?

A protection order under the Prevention of Domestic Violence Law is for close family members; a restraining order against threatening harassment can also be issued in non-family relationships (neighbors, former partners, etc.).

How quickly can a protection order be obtained?

In urgent cases, an order can be issued ex parte (without the other party’s presence) relatively quickly, with a subsequent hearing scheduled to extend the order in the presence of both parties.

What happens if a protection-order request was filed against me based on a false complaint?

A detailed response can be filed, contrary evidence presented, and the order’s cancellation requested; in some cases, a civil tort claim or additional proceedings against the abuser of process may also be considered.

Does a protection order affect custody and visitation?

Yes. A protection order may limit visits or lead to supervised arrangements; it is therefore essential to coordinate strategy between the violence proceeding and the custody/divorce file.

What should be documented when domestic violence occurs?

It is important to preserve medical records, photos, messages, recordings, and police/welfare reports – any material that can serve as evidence to support a protection-order application or to defend against an unjustified one.
