You will receive our utmost quality attention to your domestic violence problems. We will tell you about your rights and what you can do to alleviate or vacate your situation. Keep in mind that you are entitled to significant benefits after a divorce if domestic abuse was taking place.
It is true. Because you have had to live under threatening situations, you are able to get exclusive use of your home and protection of your children and finances when domestic abuse charges are filed.

Quality Attention to Your Domestic Violence Problems
The first thing you can do about domestic violence, spousal abuse or child abuse is to try to make it stop. If it does not, arrange to remove yourself and your children from the situation. Filing a protection order a good first step, but it may not be enough.
Family and criminal courts have the authority to compel the offending partner to stay away from your house, grant custody of children to the abused partner and relinquish his or her weapons. These measures are important, but because the safety of the abused depends upon notification of the police, they can sometimes fail.
We should point out that while many cases of abuse in Pennsylvania are very real and not enough is done to combat them, some cases of alleged abuse are filed falsely or vindictively. If you are facing a restraining order or charge of abuse and you believe it is false, we recommend that you contact our law office immediately.
Regardless of your personal circumstances or legal standing, if you or someone close to you has become the target of legitimate domestic violence in your home and need to file a domestic abuse charge, you should reach out to our Law Offices of Sheryl R. Rentz and arrange a consultation right away.
You call. We will listen.
