Recognizing the Types of Domestic Violence Helps Identify Abuse

Domestic violence includes physical, emotional, financial, and psychological abuse. Physical abuse involves hitting or harming someone, while emotional abuse may include threats or verbal attacks. Financial abuse restricts access to money, and psychological abuse often uses intimidation. Understanding these types helps victims identify and address abuse early.

 

Protective Orders Provide Immediate Safety and Legal Boundaries

A protective order offers legal protection against an abuser, preventing them from contacting or approaching the victim. In West Virginia, courts issue emergency and long-term protective orders based on each case’s circumstances. Our experienced attorney can guide you through the process, ensuring proper documentation and compliance with legal requirements.
