Q: I am unwed & pregante the father of child attacked me has been charged with family violence how do I protect us from him
A: If he has been charged with family violence, you should obtain a TPO (restraining order). After the baby is born, if he seeks visitation rights, he will have to file a case first.
Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: Regina is correct. You need to file for a TPO. Once you get a TPO, he could be charged criminally if he violates it.
Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: Sorry to hear you are going through this. As my colleagues have said, you should file a restraining order. You may want to consult with an attorney who can help you plan the proper course of action. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
