How a DVRO Intersects With Family Law
A DVRO is a civil court order. It differs from a criminal protective order, which is generally issued in connection with a criminal case. Someone may pursue civil protection even when criminal charges haven’t been filed.
These proceedings can intersect with divorce, child custody and visitation, support, or possession of a shared home. We consider how the requested orders may affect an existing or anticipated family case. At Law Offices of Andrew H. Griffin III, we’ve served the San Diego community since 1983.
