Courts take domestic violence and the safety of a spouse and child very seriously. Evidence of domestic abuse and/or a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) have a severe impact on child custody, child support, and spousal support. Also of consideration in these situations is the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and how it affects you, your family, and your immigration status.
