IF YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE:
Many laws have been created to protect our citizens from domestic violence. If you are a victim, call 911 to report the abuse.
You also have the right to go to court and file a petition requesting an injunction for protection from domestic violence which may include, but need not be limited to, provisions which restrain the abuser from further acts of abuse; direct the abuser to leave your household; prevent the abuser from entering your residence, school, business, or place of employment; award you custody of minor child or children; and direct the abuser to pay support to you and the minor children if the abuser has a legal obligation to do so.
