FAQ
The impact of domestic violence on a marriage can create an environment of fear, mistrust, and instability, making it difficult for the relationship to thrive and leading to a higher likelihood of divorce. Domestic violence can be both a cause and a consequence of marital problems leading to divorce.
California Law Concerning Financial Abuse This legislation, under California Family Code § 6342.5, targets individuals who financially abuse (or abuse in any way) their spouse or partner, ensuring that they are held accountable for their actions.
If domestic violence occurs at the onset of the divorce case, your attorney can act fast to file an emergency order of protection or any motions necessary to stop the abuse to the abused party and/or any minor children. A GAL can also be appointed quickly for the minor children to protect their best interest.
Can domestic violence impact my divorce? California is a no-fault divorce state. However, if domestic violence was a part of your marriage, it can impact several issues in your divorce, including child custody and spousal support.
23.5% of divorces are caused by domestic violence. Almost a quarter of survey respondents reported physical and emotional abuse in their marriages as a critical cause of divorce.
In many cases, emotional abuse can factor in when a final divorce deal is reached. Things like child custody, visitation schedules, and property division can all be decided with an emotionally abusive partner's behavior in mind.
Property Division and Spousal Support Judges also consider emotional abuse when making decisions about alimony. In most cases, alimony is awarded based on the receiving spouse's need, not as a punishment for the paying spouse's abuse.
If you want to sue someone for psychological and economic abuse, you'll need to have expert reports that support the same. If the matter is related to financial separation, then this situation needs to run through the federal circuit court.
To breach your contract by neglecting your spousal support responsibilities could result in harsh consequences. If you can't afford alimony the first thing you should do is contact your attorney. They will help you understand your situation and options, as well as your rights.
In Texas, some things can disqualify you from spousal support. These include: Cohabitation: If you live with someone else in a marriage-like relationship, you may be disqualified for spousal support. Remarriage: If you remarry before your spousal support obligation ends, you may be disqualified for further payments.
