Texas Family Protective Order Laws
A divorce or situation is inherently an emotionally trying and difficult experience. While most adults can remain rational and mature throughout the dissolution of a marriage, some have difficulty with the stress of the separation and become unbalanced emotionally, or have a mental illness or substance abuse issue that makes them dangerous towards the children or the other partner.
In any case, there are times when one spouse feels threatened by their former partner and elects to have the court provide legal protection. In instances such as these, a party may be excluded from coming into contact with their former spouse and/or children or forbidden to communicate with them through phone calls, letters, or email. Should the situation call for it, restraining orders preventing the spouse from coming within a set distance are effective deterrents from harassment.
If you feel threatened by your former partner, you should contact one of our experienced attorneys without delay. Every minute you hesitate could place you or your family in greater danger - don’t risk harassment or worse. Make sure that you stand up for your family’s right to live a life free from worry and danger. Contact us without delay.
