New Jersey Restraining Orders Attorney
Restraining orders are court orders that aim to prevent communication or connection between two people. In domestic violence situations, restraining orders are typically requested if one spouse or partner feels threatened by the other. Unfortunately, sometimes the intense emotions involved in a domestic issue can cause one spouse to wrongfully accuse the other of violating the restraining order, which can lead to serious legal penalties.
If you are facing the restrictions of a restraining order, it can be difficult to maintain your relationships with family and friends. The New Jersey restraining order attorneys of the Law Office of Jason A. Volet, LLC, understand that restraining orders can be confusing and limiting. Contact us today at 732-503-8968 to discuss your legal options for avoiding or coping with a restraining order.
Penalties for Violation
New Jersey domestic violence laws are very specific, and restraining order violations can have severe legal consequences. A person who is found to be in violation of his or her restraining order is not only subject to penalties associated with that individual act but may also face broader domestic violence penalties, which can be much harsher. Some possible penalties for restraining order violations include:
- Fines
- Jail time lasting up to 18 months
- Harsher restraining orders in the future
Every sentence is handled individually, and multiple violations will always be taken into account, sometimes making a violator’s punishment more severe.
