Domestic Violence

California Domestic Violence Attorney

It can be frightening to live in a home with a spouse or cohabitant who has an unruly temper or anger management problem. Although you may love this person, it is unfair to you and your children to be subject to abuse, assault, or battery. I am domestic violence attorney Marcus A. Torigian and I work to protect individuals who have been subject to domestic abuse.

If you or a loved one is involved in an abusive relationship, please CONTACT me immediately.

Protecting yourself and your Children

As an experienced domestic abuse lawyer, I can help you obtain a protective order to prohibit the abusive individual from entering your home, or contacting you or your children in any way. Because no family or relationship is the same, a judge is able to invoke specific restrictions tailored to your individual situation. For example, you may be eligible for temporary spousal support during the time while your spouse is away from the home.

Domestic violence charges may be filed against persons with certain relationships, such as:

• Persons married
• Persons involved in divorce
• Persons with children in common
• Persons who live together

However, with over 13 years of family law experience, the law firm of Marcus A. Torigian, Attorney at Law, is also able to assist other individuals in obtaining a restraining order to protect against abusive or violent behavior of another.

Getting the Help you need

It is difficult to consider speaking with an attorney or anyone else about an abusive relationship at home. However, if your spouse or significant other has subjected you or your children to domestic violence, it is important to take action now. If your children are victims of child abuse, you could be held accountable for not reporting the matter.

I work to stop domestic violence, get families help, and get the abusive individual help so that families can move forward. Contact me today for an experienced lawyer in Fresno County or surrounding areas.
