07 - Protecting Yourself from Family Violence with Protective Orders

In this show, we explore with attorney David Canale Family Violence Protective Orders and how the Court system works to provide victims protection from Family Violence.  We discuss what the Courts define as an act of family violence.  We explore the Court process and what protections a Family Violence Protective Order can provide to victims. We also explore the possible adverse consequences of seeking a protective order.  We touch on how someone should deal with a Temporary Protective Order if they believe they have been falsely accused of family violence by someone who wants to gain an advantage in a divorce.
