How to Get an Order of Protection in Nassau County
From Nassau County to Suffolk County and throughout Long Island, we help abused spouses and domestic partners achieve three crucial things in their family law cases:
- Stay in the home. If you are being abused, you do not have to leave your home and find somewhere else for you and your children to live, like a shelter. You have a right to your home. The abuser should be the one who leaves. An order of protection will allow you to stay in your home.
- Obtain child custody. Allegations of domestic violence will work against the abuser not only in an order of protection case, but also in future child custody matters. In looking at what is in the best interests of the child, judges will seek to limit a violent parent's contact.
- Gain favor at divorce trial. You want family law lawyers like those at Bryan L. Salamone & Associates, P.C., if you have been wronged by domestic violence. Domestic violence works against the abuser in a divorce case. If you are a victim of domestic violence and have successfully obtained an order of protection, you are more likely to get what you want out of your divorce.
You do not have to tolerate violence and harassment. If you are in imminent danger, first seek an emergency restraining order, which can be put in place the same day - and then seek an order of protection, which has longer-lasting consequences for the abuser.
