Minnesota Domestic Violence Lawyer
Domestic violence is something we read about in the newspaper, see on the evening news broadcasts and shake our heads about— until it hits home. Rage and uncontrolled anger know no social barriers. People of all social classes become involved in domestic violence scenarios that can have long-lasting legal and practical repercussions.
If you and your husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend have become embroiled in a domestic violence situation after one called the police to accuse the other of assault or battery, contact a Twin Cities area family law attorney. If you are truly afraid of your spouse's or partner's next move, you may need a restraining order. If, however, you believe you were falsely accused of domestic violence, you need to act quickly to retain your rights to live in your own home and retain access to your children.
Judges often prefer to err on the side of caution when a wife or husband alleges domestic violence. From a lawyer's point of view, however, attorney Goldfarb has witnessed numerous sad cases where the allegation of "domestic violence" was abused in order to influence financial and child custody outcomes in divorce. With more than 40 years of experience in family law in Minnesota, Mr. Goldfarb is well qualified to counsel and represent either party in a domestic violence situation — either the accuser or the accused.
In domestic violence scenarios as in all family law disputes, Stephen Goldfarb practices a philosophy of focusing on the future, not the past.
