Child Custody Arrangements and Court Orders
If you are a victim of partner or spousal abuse, a court has the power to limit your spouse's or partner's legal and physical custody rights. This is true even if your children are not being abused. The court can do this because it is held to the requirement of finalizing child custody and parenting time that are in the best interests of the children. Abuse in any form, when committed in front of or around children, is not in their best interests. This means that the abuser can be denied overnight visitation and even joint legal custody rights.
I understand that you are feeling vulnerable and scared right now, which may cause you to delay seeking legal help. Please do not do this. Instead, remember that protecting your children is your number one priority and reach out to me or another lawyer you trust immediately.
