If You Have Questions About Nevada Family Law Contact Radford J. Smith, Chartered
Nevada has very strong laws protecting the victims of spousal abuse and domestic assault. They also provide a forum for unjustly accused people. An experienced family lawyer can help you take advantage of Nevada's system and get the protection you deserve, whether you have been the victim of domestic violence or you have been wrongfully accused.
Under Nevada law, domestic violence is not limited to assault or striking a person. It can also refer to the damage of property, restricting movements, harassment, or even threats. Similarly, you can obtain a TPO (temporary protective order) after an incident of domestic violence or after threats and other similar situations. If you file for a TPO, you will receive a court review within forty-eight hours.
Domestic violence issues will have a major impact on other family law matters as well. It is an important factor used by the courts in the determination of child custody. For this reason, false accusations are often used as a weapon in divorce proceedings. Our goal is to help you do what is right for your family.
In addition to our work for clients throughout the greater Las Vegas area, our firm does volunteer work for battered individuals at Safe Nest. We have seen the very real consequences of domestic violence, and we treat these matters with the gravity they deserve.
