Why You Should Hire a Domestic Violence Attorney
Domestic violence laws can be complicated to understand, as the laws provide protection to victims when certain crimes (typically crimes of violence, like assault) are alleged to have been committed.
Domestic violence can have major consequences for those who have been accused, including jail time and a criminal record of domestic violence. It is important to understand all the legal repercussions.
However, individuals accused of domestic violence are entitled to a number of rights since domestic violence is based upon criminal conduct, so it is important that you ensure your rights are protected. A seasoned domestic violence attorney knows what your rights are and will make sure they are not violated.
Domestic Violence Laws
Domestic violence is explained in Connecticut General Assembly Sec. 46b. Domestic violence refers to physical harm or a threat of imminent physical injury on an individual by a family or household member. A household member can be any of the following:
Domestic violence itself is not a criminal charge, but it occurs when an individual is accused of having committed a statutorily enumerated crime against a family member, which can be a wide range of different offenses.
Senate Bill 334 allows for victims of domestic violence to petition for a restraining order in family court. A restraining order can be issued without the individual having been arrested for the crime that is alleged. Restraining orders may be issued for up to one year, but the court can extend the order if they find it necessary.
