Domestic Violence

Texas Domestic Violence Attorney

Domestic violence does not always involve physical injuries. Psychological or verbal abuse can be just as harmful to a person’s well-being as physical violence. Any type of violence or abuse in a marriage or other domestic relationship, including child abuse, may be grounds for a restraining order or a protective order. In addition, injured parties may bring a personal injury claim against the perpetrator of domestic violence or abuse at the same time that they file a petition for divorce.

If you are being physically or psychologically harmed within the context of a domestic relationship, contact the Austin, Texas domestic violence and divorce law firm of David Todd, Attorney at Law. At your initial consultation, attorney David Todd will explain your legal options and, if necessary, take immediate steps to obtain a protective order to protect you and your children.

Petitioning for Support before the Divorce is Complete

If you are a financially dependent spouse, attorney David Todd will also explain your rights to petition for support from your spouse even before your divorce is final, including during the time that a restraining order or a protective order is in effect. The abusive spouse may be made responsible for attorneys’ fees, child support and other costs related to the separation brought about by domestic violence or abuse.
