What Is a Domestic Violence Lawyer?

A Domestic Violence Lawyer is a family law attorney who represents people who are experiencing abuse, threats, harassment, coercive control, or violence in a family or intimate relationship. Domestic violence issues are often time-sensitive and require legal guidance to address personal safety concerns, child custody issues, restraining orders, and separation or divorce matters.

In Ontario, family law recognizes domestic violence as including physical abuse, emotional abuse, psychological manipulation, financial control, stalking, intimidation, and repeated threatening behaviour. An experienced domestic violence lawyer can help a client understand their rights and seek legal protection with the courts.

  • Restraining orders and emergency protection orders
