Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is a serious crime that occurs in our communities every day. Domestic violence is abuse or violence between family members, spouses, children, people who are in a dating relationship and people who live together. Victims of domestic violence may need a protective order, which involves the court. Depending on the severity of the violence, the Judge can issue a protective order for up to 2 years.
