Accusations of domestic violence can turn your life into a nightmare, especially if you are being falsely accused.

With more than 30 years of experience guiding clients through the New Jersey court system and helping them during their time of need. If you have been accused of domestic violence, now is the time to get a lawyer who will fight for your rights.
When You Are Charged With Domestic Violence in New Jersey
There are two parts to the domestic violence criminal process in New Jersey. Both can have a negative impact on any current or future divorce and child custody matters and both have serious consequences:
- The family court case can lead to permanent restraining orders that cut you off from your family.
- The criminal charges can result in jail, large fines, and other penalties.
It doesn’t take much for abuse to be proven. With very little evidence, the court will approve a temporary restraining order. This means that you are kicked out of your own house and are ordered to have no contact with your spouse/partner or your children (unless visitation is allowed). It may also require you to pay child support and alimony.
Within 10 days, there will be a full trial on whether to continue the restraining order and whether there is a basis for the criminal charges. That’s not much time to prepare your defense.
