Domestic violence is a serious issue that can affect every aspect of your life—from your physical safety and emotional well-being to your financial stability and parental rights. If you are facing domestic abuse or have been falsely accused of it, the legal system can feel overwhelming. The Law Offices of Kisha M. Hebbon, LLC provides skilled, compassionate, and assertive representation for clients involved in domestic violence matters in Middlesex County and throughout central New Jersey.
New Jersey Domestic Violence Law
Domestic violence encompasses more than just physical harm. Under New Jersey’s Prevention of Domestic Violence Act (PDVA), abuse may include emotional, psychological, and financial control, as well as threats, harassment, sexual assault, stalking, and other coercive behaviors. The law is designed to protect victims from current or former spouses, dating partners, household members, and anyone with whom the victim has a child or has had an intimate relationship.
Victims of domestic violence have the right to seek a temporary restraining order (TRO), which can provide immediate protection and restrict the abuser’s contact or proximity. A court hearing will then determine whether a final restraining order (FRO) is warranted, which can result in long-term legal consequences for the accused, including the loss of custody rights, firearms, and freedom of movement.
Legal Protection for Victims of Domestic Violence in Middlesex County
If you are a victim of domestic violence, swift action is critical. Our firm can help you file for a TRO and guide you through the court process to secure an FRO if necessary. We ensure that your petition is thorough, evidence-based, and presented effectively in court. We also assist with related issues such as child custody, emergency relocation, and divorce if your safety requires ending the relationship.
Victims of abuse may be eligible for exclusive possession of the shared home, temporary child support or spousal support, and custody of minor children. We prioritize your safety and take every legal measure to ensure that you and your children are protected from further harm.
Defense Against False Allegations of Domestic Violence
Unfortunately, accusations of domestic violence are sometimes made falsely—either as a form of retaliation or as leverage in a custody or divorce dispute. If you’ve been wrongly accused, it’s critical to mount a strong defense immediately. A restraining order can affect where you live, whether you see your children, and even your job or immigration status.
Our legal team works quickly to evaluate the evidence, interview witnesses, and build a comprehensive defense. We represent you at the FRO hearing, challenging weak or misleading claims and making sure your side of the story is heard. Our goal is to prevent unfair penalties and protect your reputation.
