How Is Domestic Violence Defined Under New Jersey Law?

Lawyer

Under New Jersey law, domestic violence is a pattern of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse that can include threats, financial control, and isolation. Domestic violence occurs across all society, regardless of gender, race, and economic status.

To be considered domestic violence under New Jersey’s Prevention of Domestic Violence Act, there must be a certain relationship between the offender and the victim. This can include marriage, dating, living together, or having or expecting a child in common. A victim must also be at least 18 years old.

When to Hire a Family Lawyer

A common need for those who have been affected by domestic violence is a restraining order. Restraining orders can help protect a victim from an abuser. A family lawyer can advise a victim about obtaining a temporary restraining order and navigate any custody issues that may present themselves during a domestic violence case. Family lawyers can help the victim obtain a Final Restraining Order.

Family lawyers can also help the person accused of domestic violence defeat the entry of a Final Restraining Order, or settle the matter in another way, such as with a Civil Restraining Order.
