Orders of Protection

New York City Attorney Assisting with Orders of Protection

If you, or your children, are victims of physical abuse by your spouse, we will work to obtain an order of protection and, when appropriate, an order excluding your spouse from the marital residence. While emotional abuse may be as devastating as physical abuse, it is more difficult to prove and to obtain an order of exclusion from the marital residence.

The standard of proof required to exclude your spouse is that it has become “unsafe or improper” to remain in the same residence.

At Angela Scarlato & Associates we understand that men, as well as women, can be the victims of spousal abuse. Our attorneys will zealously represent you with compassion and understanding.
