What legal options are available to me if my spouse becomes abusive?

1/25/2017

Many people contact our office and ask what legal options do they have in the event their spouse does, or has, become abusive. Domestic violence is a serious issue that is not taken lightly in North Carolina. On the criminal side of the house, assault on a female and driving while impaired are likely the two most serious misdemeanors in North Carolina. Civilly speaking, if you are or have been in a relationship with domestic violence, you may seek protection by filing for a domestic violence protective order. If granted, you may receive immediate protection for a period of approximately 10 days without providing notice to the other party. At the end of that period of protection, you may seek that the order remain in place for a one-year period. During that time, the abuser may not come near you, contact you, nor may they contact your workplace, friends, or family. If they do, they will be arrested and prosecuted criminally.

If you would like to speak to an attorney regarding domestic violence and protective orders, contact Adkins Law. Adkins Law is located in Huntersville and primarily serves Mecklenburg County and the greater Charlotte area.

Thanks for pointing out that filing for a domestic violence protective order would be able to give your protection. With that in mind, looking for an assault lawyer would be helpful to know how to file for this. My cousin might need to know about this so that she can take legal action if ever certain circumstances happen to her, since I have a doubt about her partner.

It’s really terrible for anyone to bear a cheating partner. The best way to handle these suspicions is to do everything in your power to catch them, preferably in the act. My wife was cheating and had always gotten away with it because I did not know how as I was always too scared to pin anything on her. I went in search of a hacker who could break into cell phones without any trace and I ran into a very strong and reliable hacker called Williamscyberghost. I quickly reached out to him to satisfy my curiosity. Within a few minutes I got a response from him asking me which of his services I was interested in. I explained my worries to him. He requested for certain details which I did not hesitate to provide because he promised me his services were a hundred percent satisfactory. Few hours after our initial conversation a notification popped in and it was all the information I wanted. My heart was really broken to find out that my wife was indeed cheating with my brother. I knew that she was cheating but I didn’t know with someone close to me. All thanks to Williamscyberghost for his services and went on to file for a divorce. email him at: [email protected] and also Call, text or WhatsApp at: +1 602 456 1862

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.

Thank you LORD KRISH for manifesting my work within 24 hours as you promised. I have come online to say that I am happy to have met Lord Krish who help me in getting back my ex wife who left me for a wealthy man because she wants to have expensive things. I met Lord Krish and he helped me with a love spell and she returned to me within 24 hours of contacting Lord Krish. After 5 months of struggling with emotional heart break, I am finally happy to have my love back in my life. I never believed love spells are very true until I met Lord Krish and it was also through same testimonies. I promised Lord Krish I would share his name on the internet to bring people to him.
