Domestic Violence
Miami Domestic Violence Attorney
If your spouse or partner is threatening you or has become physically abusive, Florida's domestic violence laws can give you a great deal of power. By filing a domestic violence injunction, you can have your spouse removed from your home and barred from contacting you. However, accusations of domestic violence can also be misused by a spouse who wants to get the upper hand in a divorce case.
I am Theodore Enfield, a family law attorney in Miami, Florida. I have more than 29 years of experience in guiding families through family law issues such as divorce and domestic violence. I have represented both the abused spouse as well and who has been accused of abuse.
Accusations of domestic violence can cut both ways in a divorce. If the accusation of spousal or child abuse is believed by the court, it can result in restricted child visitation rights for the abusive parent. However, making a false allegation of domestic violence can result in loss of child custody rights by the accuser.
If you have been accused of domestic violence, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible. A domestic violence injunction is a restraining order and it can affect you both personally and professionally. Few employers would be interested in hiring an employee who has a restraining order for domestic violence on his or her record. If you are a police officer, a domestic violence injunction can result in a loss of employment since you would be unable to carry a gun.
