Child Abuse

The law defines child abuse as—

  • Any type of neglect of a child
  • Too severe a punishment
  • Failure to properly supervise

General Abuse

Abuse can be the neglect of an elderly or disabled person. Even a small lapse in judgment can result in an abuse, neglect, or endangerment charge.

Domestic Violence

The law defines domestic violence as any crime committed against a family member or a person someone regularly dates or has a significant relationship with. A fight or argument between you and your loved one can lead to serious charges. Sometimes, false charges are filed because someone wants you out of the house or wants an advantage in a divorce case.

Consequences of Abuse or Domestic Violence

Domestic violence matters have serious consequences to the personal and professional lives of those who are found guilty of what the law has characterized as "a serious crime against society."  These consequences can include:

  • Restraining orders;
  • Getting kicked out of your home;
  • Job loss;
  • Not being able to see your children; and
  • Jail or prison time.
If you are charged with child abuse or domestic violence, you may lose the ability, before your trial, to go home or to see your children. Therefore, it is very important to have a New Jersey attorney protect your rights.
