domestic violence
00:06
is a very tough area and the way i can
00:09
help somebody who is
00:11
a victim of domestic violence is i can
00:13
one educate them
00:15
as to what remedies are available
00:17
through the court
00:18
and sometimes those remedies might be
00:20
too much
00:21
for the current situation however
00:24
there’s orders of protection
00:26
wherein we go into court on an emergency
00:28
basis
00:30
we go in without the other individual
00:32
knowing that we’re going into court
00:34
and we can seek a temporary order
00:37
that would protect that person from the
00:40
abuser
00:41
and that gives everybody some time to
00:44
act whether it’s to file a divorce if
00:46
you’re in a marriage that you’re
00:48
experiencing domestic violence and
00:50
you’re afraid that if i file for divorce
00:52
i’m going to be hurt so we can go in on
00:55
these orders of protection
00:57
at the same time we file for a divorce
01:00
and we can go
01:00
in get all those papers served on the
01:03
abuser
01:04
and then the victim is then protected
01:08
early on in the case from that abuser so
01:11
then things can calm down and cool down
01:13
and they can escape their situation
