Domestic Violence
It’s important for your divorce attorney to have experience in both family law and criminal law when dealing with a domestic violence situation. Matt understands how domestic violence issues may impact a divorce or custody case.
In some divorce cases, spouses are subject to abuse or there was a threat of violence present during the marriage. Or a threat erupted after divorce papers were filed.
Texas law understands that a threat of violence is also violence and that’s important to protect people from threatening statements.
A protective order can help ensure your safety and your children’s safety by keeping an abusive spouse away from you.
Matt also understands that domestic violence charges sometimes result from misunderstandings or even false accusations.
If you are being wrongly accused Matt and his staff work hard to see that the true facts are brought before the court.
