Family Violence and Protective Orders

At Meincke Houston Family Law, we have considerable experience handling both sides of Family Violence Protective Order matters. We are dedicated to providing support and legal protection to those facing family violence or stalking in Georgia. If you or your loved ones are at risk, our experienced attorneys can help you secure a Family Violence Protective Order to ensure your safety and bring peace of mind during this difficult time. There are few things more urgent than anyone, and particularly a child, being exposed to violence in their own home.

We understand the emotional strain involved in situations of family violence. Our team is here to guide you through the process of obtaining an emergency protective order, then representing you in hearings for long-term protection. Whether you are seeking protection from physical abuse or stalking, we advocate for your rights and work tirelessly to prevent further harm.

Conversely, we understand that being wrongly accused of family violence or stalking can be a deeply distressing and life-altering experience. If you are facing a protective order or a claim of abuse that is not based in fact, our skilled team is here to provide you with strong, compassionate representation to protect your rights and your reputation. We have successfully dismissed several protective order petitions that were not based in fact or were used to gain an unfair advantage in an ongoing divorce or child custody matter. Our team is committed to presenting a thorough and strategic defense to fight against unwarranted protective orders, providing you with the support needed during this critical time.
