California Domestic Violence Attorneys

Domestic violence is a difficult and emotional topic. As a result, most instances of domestic violence go unreported, even if the issue of violence is very relevant in most divorce and family law proceedings. Domestic violence is typically perpetrated in a pattern of or cycle of abuse, which is often used as a tool by the abuser to ensure the victim does not end the relationship. In addition, the victim is often in denial regarding the abuse due to the psychological effects of the cycle of violence.

It is important to clarify that domestic violence is not limited to physical abuse or domestic battery. Many forms of coercive control, verbal abuse, financial abuse, and disturbing the peace of another exist and are recognized by California family courts as domestic violence.
