Domestic violence is one of the most serious family law issues that can arise, and often requires immediate action both on the part of the victim and the alleged abuser. Joe Keiser has worked with many victims and alleged perpetrators of domestic violence, to effectively represent their needs, and to seek a resolution that addresses the seriousness of the situation as quickly and efficiently as possible.
The California Prevention of Domestic Violence statutes are designed to prevent abuse between family members, household members, and dating couples. The statutes protect both same-sex and opposite-sex couples. Victims of domestic violence may request that the Court issue a protective order to prevent future abuse. A parent may apply for the order on behalf of a child, or the child, if age 12 or older, may appear in court and independently seek such an order.
