What is Domestic Violence in Alabama?

Acts of domestic violence are those that occur between current or former spouses or intimate partners or other household members. 

As a victim of actual or threatened violence, you can obtain a protection from abuse (PFA) order in cases such as those involving the following:

  • Any type of physical assault, such as slapping, punching, kicking, pinching, etc.
  • Physical restraint (unlawful imprisonment)
  • Sexual abuse, such as rape 
  • Child abuse 
  • Harassment (including abusive physical contact, abusive language, or threats of injury)
  • Reckless endangerment (putting you at risk for serious injury)
  • Menacing (putting you in fear of imminent injury)
  • Arson
  • Kidnapping
  • Stalking
  • Theft of property owned jointly or separately by you
  • Criminal trespass (knowingly entering or remaining on the premises)

Protective orders can be obtained on an emergency, temporary, or more permanent basis. These orders can do the following:

  • Remove the abuser from your shared residence
  • Stop the abuser from further violence or threats
  • Stop the abuser from harassment or stalking
  • Stop the abuser from many any contact with you or your children through any means
  • Keep the abuser away from your home, work, children’s school, or other specific places that you go
  • Give you temporary custody of your children
  • Turn over possession of a vehicle or other personal items to you
  • Provide any other relief necessary to ensure your safety and that of your children

Wrongful Accusations

Wrongful accusations of domestic violence can be made against individuals that can seriously impact their lives, freedom, and future. These types of accusations are often false, exaggerated, based on misrepresentation, or other deceptions and are usually done to portray the accused in a negative way that works to the benefit of the accuser. These wrongful accusations can be made to gain leverage in a divorce, child custody dispute, or other matter. 

If you have been falsely accused, we strongly urge you to get competent legal representation to defend yourself against the potential damage that can be done to your reputation, freedom, and future.
