A: The answer provided by my distinguished colleague attorney H.Scott Aalsberg is correct. But you need to retain an experienced matrimonial attorney, with extensive domestic violence trial experience. Criminal charges are good, but they do not have the benefits and protection that a Final Domestic Violence restraining order will provide to you.
