Criminal Issues of Concern During Dissolution/Domestic Cases

Posted by Dads Divorce in protection , orders , Erik Carter , dissolution , Cordell Cordell, PC

  An area often overlooked when a person is involved with a case involving Domestic Relations, is the area of criminal law. Men are very vulnerable to cases which may possibly bring law enforcement involvement. The classic areas are Orders of Protection and Criminal Non-Support.

            Though not filed in every case, Orders of Protection are utilized by parties to “evict” their spouse form the marital residence. A by product of this tool is to gain leverage with possessing the residence and possibly seizing custody of the children and establishing child support prior to the filing of dissolution/separation action. The criminal element is invoked when the Respondent to these actions “violate” the terms of the Court Order. Such violations can occur by simple communicating with the opposing party to the actual physical contact with the opposing party.  Criminal charges can be instituted by a prosecutor in such cases and can adversely affect an individual’s pending domestic case.
