If you are a victim of domestic violence, a restraining order may be necessary for your safety.
A restraining order is a court order that helps protect people like you from physical or mental abuse. The restrained person can be ordered to stay away from you and your children, pay child support, and move out of the home immediately.
Recently, the estranged wife of rocker Jack White filed a restraining order against him after she stated that he threatened her. She fears for her safety and that of her children. In the filing, Karen Elson stated that “White has a violent temper, sends her emails laced with profanity and calls her derogatory names”.
White denied making threats against his estranged wife in a court filing that responded to her request for a temporary restraining order. He has asked the court to establish a temporary parenting plan.
If you are going through a divorce and your estranged spouse has been threatening, harassing or abusing you in any way, it is important to get help. Contact the Orange County family law offices of Amy M. Montes to discuss your options and legal rights. No one should have to tolerate domestic violence or abuse.
