[COLORADO SPRINGS, 04/12/2018] — Physical abuse happens to about 20 people every minute in the United States, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The NCADV adds that this is equivalent to over 10 million physical abuse victims (men and women). The Law Office of Gordon N. Shayne provides family law solutions for victims of all types of domestic abuse.

Protecting the Client’s Rights and Best Interests

The Colorado Revised Statutes Section 13-14-101 (2) states that whether the perpetrator and the victim are involved in an intimate relationship or currently live in or have lived in the same home, any act of violence, or threatened acts of violence, falls under the term domestic abuse.

The Law Office of Gordon N. Shayne tells its clients to trust its capability to handle all kinds of domestic abuse. If domestic abuse prompted a client’s divorce or serves as a contributing factor to a divorce or custody case, the law office commits to protecting the client’s rights and best interests in resolving a family law dispute.

Building a Strong Case

Domestic abuse factors into a court’s decision in divorce or child custody cases. As such, the Law Office of Gordon N. Shayne builds a strong case on a client’s behalf by citing and identifying any type of domestic abuse, which includes:

• Physical or emotional/mental abuse
• Patterns of manipulation and control, including financial control
• A history of alcohol, drug or controlled substance abuse
• Sexual abuse or control
• Anger disorders
• Other forms of abusive behaviors

In situations of domestic violence, the Law Office of Gordon N. Shayne reminds its clients the necessity of obtaining a restraining order for protection. A lawyer can help a client understand his or her rights under Colorado domestic abuse laws, but the client still needs a civil protection order for safety measures.

The Law Office of Gordon N. Shayne suggests a client contact the local police immediately to obtain a restraining order.
