Formalizing Your Protection From Domestically Violent Encounters in El Paso County
Domestic violence occurs in intimate, household, and family relationships across the board to people from all walks of life, educational and professional backgrounds, and socio-economic levels. This phenomenon can manifest in many ways but results in one spouse being dominated by the other to a negative effect. It can be the result of financial distress, substance abuse, and emotional duress connected with the breakdown of relationships, impending divorce, child custody disputes, and more.
Note: Any type of behavior that threatens to harm or results in actual harm to someone in a domestic or romantic relationship is viewed as domestic violence by the state. In such cases, the abused party’s best action is to seek the protection of the court, remove oneself or have the offending party removed from the scene, and seek the help of an attorney.
At Aviso Law, we can help you on two fronts: as both family law attorneys as well as criminal defense lawyers. Conversely, if you have been falsely accused of domestic violence, we can fight for you against both criminal charges and unfair protection orders.

how can Protective Orders help you prevent dangerous situations?
Protective orders are meant to keep domestic violence victims and their children safe by doing the following:
- Ordering the abuser to cease any further type of violent behavior or threats of such behavior against the victim and his or her children
- Ordering the abuser to make no further contact with the victim and/or his or her children
- Ordering the abuser to vacate the shared home
- Ordering the abuser to stay away from the vicinity of the home, the victim’s work or school, the children’s school, and any commonly frequented places
- Limiting or denying the abuser’s custody/visitation rights
- Removing the abuser’s rights to possession/use of firearms
- Removing the abuser’s rights to possess or take action against the family pets
As you can see, those accused of domestic violence face serious consequences. Violations of these orders will result in further criminal consequences as well.
