One of the most horrible aspects of
society, domestic abuse affects thousands of people each day. Although men can
be victims, the majority of victims are women. Unfortunately, many victims stay
in relationships for years, getting severely injured or even killed. If you
believe you are in a domestic abuse situation and want to take legal action,
here are some factors to consider when determining if you indeed have a case.
Documented Evidence
In almost all domestic abuse cases, it is critical for the victim to have
as much documented evidence as possible. This can include photos of injuries,
videos of arguments between victim and abuser, police reports, medical records,
and more. By having this evidence, attorney Stephen Williams will be able to
assess the situation to determine if you do indeed have an abuse case.
Domestic Abuse or Civil Harassment?
While many factors are similar in both of these situations, a Flemington NJ
domestic abuse attorney at the Law Office of Stephen Williams can help
differentiate between the two. For example, if violence is occurring between
family members or a couple who is intimate with one another, it is considered
domestic abuse. However, if violence is occurring between friends, coworkers,
or other non-relatives, it is civil harassment.
Divorce Proceedings
In many situations, domestic abuse leads to one spouse filing for divorce.
When this happens, the abusive behavior often escalates. For example, the
abuser may make additional threats of physical violence, threaten to take away
the couple’s children, or other similar actions. Whatever the case may be, always
rely on attorney Stephen Williams for assistance. As a Flemington NJ domestic
abuse attorney with a proven track record of success in these cases, he can
