Domestic Violence & Abuse Law (FAPA Cases)
Domestic violence is an unfortunate fact of life in some families. If domestic violence takes place in a family, it may be necessary for the abused family member to obtain a family abuse restraining order under the Family Abuse Protection Act (FAPA) in order to protect themselves and their children from further abuse.When family relationships are threatened with violence, special understanding and skills are necessary.
