We have successfully obtained Orders of Protection on behalf of numerous clients. We have established new case law in the Arizona Court of Appeals that, for the first time in the history of Arizona family law, pronounced that a finding of significant domestic violence should be of “paramount importance” to all trial judges hearing child custody cases.

If significant domestic violence exists, the court may award you sole legal custody of your children without considering any other child custody factors.

If the children have witnessed the domestic violence or have themselves have been verbally, physically or emotionally abused, the court can either order no visitation to that parent or only supervised parenting time. The court can also order the abuser to go through a domestic violence assessment with a trained expert and can be ordered to go through domestic violence treatment.
