Penal Code For Domestic Violence in California
The California Penal Code specifies the relationships that constitute a domestic violence case. The perpetrator must have an intimate or familial relationship with the victim.
These relationships include but are not limited to the following:
- Spouse
- Ex-spouse
- Girlfriend or boyfriend
- Domestic partner
- Child
- Step-child
- A cohabitant or former cohabitant in the home
Restraining Orders
If you are the victim of a violent crime, a temporary restraining order can protect you and your family from future danger. We are happy to help you with the forms necessary to request this order and can represent you at your hearing.
On the other hand, if you are accused of domestic violence, you run the risk of enduring a permanent restraining order. Our Temecula domestic violence lawyers advocate for clients who have been falsely accused of domestic violence in hopes of preserving their ability to see and spend time with the ones they love.
How Do Domestic Violence Charges Affect Child Custody
Domestic violence charges can significantly impact child custody determinations. Courts prioritize a child’s safety and well-being, so any history of domestic violence may influence custody arrangements. A conviction, or even a pending charge, can lead the court to presume that placing a child with the accused parent may not be in the child’s best interest. In such cases, courts may impose supervised visitation or limit contact with the child. Additionally, a domestic violence charge can be used as evidence by the other parent to argue for restricted custody rights.
Even if charges are ultimately dropped, the accused may still face challenges in court, as the allegations alone can cast doubt on parental fitness. Consulting a knowledgeable domestic violence defense attorney is essential to understanding the legal options and advocating for a fair custody arrangement that protects parental rights while addressing the court’s concerns.
