Domestic Violence Laws
Spousal abuse accusations can be handled in domestic relations court, and can result in a restraining order or emergency protective order. These measures limit the suspected abuser's contact with the alleged victim. If you violate these orders, you can face fines and/or jail time. Only a judge can modify an order once it has been issued. Domestic violence accusations can also result in criminal proceedings, which can lead to felony sanctions. If you have been charged with a crime involving violence or threats to family or household members, it is important to hire an experienced Ohio domestic violence lawyer as soon as possible.
