Lawrence Restraining Order and Divorce Attorney
Sadly, actual or alleged physical violence plays a role in many Massachusetts divorces. If spousal abuse, child abuse, sexual assault or another crime is taking place in your home, or you have been accused of such behavior, it is important that you hire an experienced advocate.
Attorney Linda Nutting Cummings has a significant amount of experience litigating these delicate issues and obtaining the type of protections that the court system can provide.
Physical Abuse in Divorce? Get a '209A' | Andover Domestic Violence Attorney
A Massachusetts order for protection — commonly known as a "209A" — can prohibit an alleged abuser from coming near or even speaking to an abused or threatened adult or child. Securing this order can be an effective tool to stop the violence, the harassment and the threats.
False allegations of abusive behavior are also a sad reality of divorce. A 209A, when falsely obtained, can prevent an innocent person from seeing his or her children, living at home or engaging in normal activities.
