Protecting Your Rights, Defending Your Future
When tension crosses family boundaries, it can turn a peaceful home into a place of danger. Domestic violence affects not just the victim but the whole family and everyone involved. The only way to prevent future abuse is by putting an end to the victimizer’s behavior through legal action.

What is Domestic Violence?
Domestic violence usually begins when one partner seeks to exert control over the other in a relationship. It then follows a pattern of behavior where one partner tries to maintain control over the other through a range of abusive behaviors.
​
Forms of abuse can include physical harm, sexual and emotional abuse, as well as threats of violence. It can also involve actions like withholding money or isolating them from friends and family members.
​
Abusive behaviors can take any form, but they usually involve conduct that frightens, intimidates, terrorizes, manipulates, hurts, humiliates, blames, or injures the other partner.
​
Domestic violence happens in every type of relationship, from married couples to dating relationships and everyone in between. It can also occur between opposite-sex or same-sex couples. Regardless of where or how it happens, no person deserves to live in fear of their partner.
