Domestic Violence In Texas

Domestic violence has both a criminal and civil component. On the criminal side, the police are involved, arrests are made and criminal charges are brought against the perpetrator. On the civil side, there are legal orders in place – restraining orders, for example – to make sure victims are protected.

Domestic violence involves harm or the threat of imminent harm to someone in a particular relationship with the perpetrator. This special relationship can include spouses, children and dating partners.

Both the criminal and civil aspects of domestic violence cases can have a tremendous impact on divorce proceedings. One of the most important examples is child custody and visitation. If someone is involved in a divorce, and the court is deciding on placement for the child, the court will look at the best interests of the child as the primary concern.  In a case like this, it makes sense that the court would prefer to keep the child away from the parent with a history of domestic violence.
