The different kinds of abuse one partner might go through in a divorce include

Physical Abuse

Physical abuse is the most common and well-known kind of domestic abuse. It includes slapping, punching, kicking, or harming the victim in any other physical manner.

Mental / Emotional Abuse

Mental or emotional abuse includes acts such as threats, name-calling, humiliation, intimidation, gaslighting, or manipulation, which impact their confidence and mental health.

Controlling Behavior

An abusive spouse may withhold money from their partner or try to control them by not allowing them to get a job, spend time with family, or socialize with their friends and neighbors.

Stalking / Harassment

If the victim of abuse tries to get free from the relationship, the abusive partner may also stalk or harass them, which affects the victim’s sense of security and thinking power, too.

What Domestic Abuse Can Look Like

Did you know that according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), 33.33% of women and 25% of men have experienced violence from their partner at least once in their lives?

Domestic violence occurs in more marriages than people realize – in Texas, across the United States, and around the globe. If a person has suffered abuse from their spouse, they can consider obtaining a family violence protective order. This order ensures that the abusive partner maintains a distance from the victim, their children, or other family members. In Texas, someone can request an emergency protective order on an “ex parte” basis – meaning the abuser will not be notified in advance. If you need help understanding this better, you should get in touch with a good domestic violence lawyer. 

From start to finish, we handle the legal battle, so you can focus on moving forward with your life.
