No Contact Provisions

If you do not have a lawyer representing you for your first court appearance, the judge will apply a “no-contact” provision. This will keep you from returning home, seeing your children, or speaking to your spouse. It is extremely important that you do not violate the “no-contact” provision under any circumstance, even if the alleged victim encourages you to do so. Violating the court order in any way can cause you to be arrested for violation of probation and may result in a charge of aggravated stalking.

Protective / Restraining Order Hearings

After an accusation of domestic violence, the alleged victim may apply for a restraining order or an injunction for protection. If granted by the judge, the restraining order will be issued on a temporary basis. A Protective Order Hearing will then be scheduled where the alleged victim will be served to appear at the hearing and testify to the reason for the protective order. At the hearing, the judge will hear testimony from the accused violent offender as well. It is important to have an Attorney by your side at this hearing. At Musca Law, we are experienced in representing those accused of domestic violence and can represent you at the protective order hearing. The restraining order will stay effective until it is dismissed by the court, or expires.

Child Abuse

Child Abuse laws in Florida leave a great deal of room for interpretation. Parents have the right to discipline their children, but often times, there is a thin line between disciplinary action and child abuse. These charges often occur as the result of how someone interpreted a series of events. Children can be manipulated into thinking they have been abused or neglected. This can result in false allegations of child abuse when no child abuse actually took place. At Musca Law, our child abuse lawyers can represent you and provide a strong defense for your case.
