Domestic Violence & Divorce

In some cases, a spouse may become abusive during the process of divorce, when tensions are high and conflict is at its worst. It is imperative that you get medical attention right away if you have been severely injured, and always ensure you keep documented evidence of the abuse, including pictorial evidence, if at all possible.

Seek legal help immediately if you are currently in a position where you or your co-inhabitants or dependents are in danger of physical violence. By consulting with an experienced domestic violence lawyer in Pensacola as soon as possible, you may be able to get a court order requiring your abusive spouse to move out of your home and leave you alone during your divorce.

Non-Violent Abuse During Divorce

Keep in mind that not all abuse involves hitting, punching, or other forms of physical or sexual violence. Your spouse may commit crimes of abuse by engaging in intimidation, stalking, threats of violent behavior, and other forms of psychological or verbal abuse. Even if your spouse has never struck you or committed a violent crime, per se, you may still be able to get an emergency restraining order and do so ex parte. (That is, without your spouse knowing it or being able to contest the conditions of the court order.)

Talk to Police About the Abuse

It is important to involve law enforcement whenever there is physical or sexual abuse of any kind. When police are involved and are present to witness any abuse or evidence thereof, it will be included in an official police report. If you proceed to divorce your spouse and want to maintain your rights to important assets or primary custody over your children, police reports addressing spousal abuse will be very valuable in protecting your children and possession.

When members of law enforcement are involved and aware of the abuse, they can help enforce the terms of any restraining orders against your spouse. Even if you have yet to obtain any official orders against your abusive spouse, contacting police is imperative to your wellbeing and the wellbeing of any children you may have.

Local law enforcement are also a great asset if you do not wish to continue living in your home and are seeking to relocate to get away from your abuser. Police are well-connected in the community and may be able to refer you to an abuse shelter and other organizations that may be able to provide the kind of help you need.
