Domestic violence is an unfortunately common occurrence in Pennsylvania. Either partner may be victimized and, in extreme cases, the children may also be subjected to abuse. Difficult and emotional situations such as divorce and child custody battles are often catalysts of such abuse.

 

If you or your children are victims of domestic violence, it is critical to act quickly and obtain swift legal protection to stop the abuse– no excuse is good enough.
