How Domestic Violence Affects Family Law Matters
Domestic violence has far-reaching implications in family law cases, influencing divorce, child custody disputes, spousal maintenance outcomes, and more:
- Divorce and domestic violence - Evidence of abuse may result in restraining orders that can alter the course of divorce and how parties must proceed, limiting contact and communication. In some cases, it may also influence the division of property and assets.
- Child custody disputes - Texas courts prioritize children’s safety in custody decisions. A history of domestic violence can lead to restricted custody or visitation rights for the abusive parent. New evidence of abuse may require custody modifications, granting full custody to the non-abusive parent.
- Spousal maintenance awards - Survivors may face financial challenges if they are reliant on their abuser. However, courts can award spousal maintenance to support the survivor’s stability and independence during and after divorce.

Steps to Seek Protection or Preserve Your Rights
Navigating domestic violence matters within family law requires both courage and legal precision. Whether you have experienced domestic violence or are facing allegations of wrongdoing, here are steps you can take to seek protection and preserve your rights:
For survivors:
- Document the abuse. Collect evidence of domestic violence, such as medical records, photographs, police reports, or witness statements. Clear documentation strengthens your case.
- Obtain a protective order. This can shield you and your family from further harm. Our attorneys can assist in filing for an order and presenting the necessary evidence to the court.
