Domestic Violence Prevention
BayLegal’s Domestic Violence Prevention Project takes a holistic approach to representing survivors that is designed to empower women with the information and options they need to stop the abuse and build safe, stable lives for themselves and their children. The project offers legal assistance in obtaining restraining orders, divorces, support orders, and safe custody and visitation orders.
In 2010, 10,903 women and children were enabled to escape domestic violence and start building safe, stable lives relying on stay-away injunctions and $3.5 million in support orders obtained by BayLegal.
BayLegal’s Domestic Violence Prevention practice work includes helping survivors with:
- Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs)
- Divorce, legal separation or annulments
- Child or spousal support
- Custody and visitation orders
- Battered spouse waivers
- Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) enforcement
- Immigration issues faced by domestic violence survivors
- Training and community education
