The end of a marriage can bring out the worst in people, but there’s a difference between the normal course of difficult emotions people go through and making threats of violence against a spouse or a couple’s children.
If your spouse is threatening your safety, you should immediately call 911.
Not only will police in Rochester work to ensure that you have a safe place to stay if needed, but in domestic violence situations, your spouse may be ordered to attend counseling or other therapeutic interventions that can help them find a better balance.
In marriages with kids, it’s very important that the court have all the information it needs to make a good choice when it comes to custody.
Documentation of threats of domestic violence will play a role in protecting your kids from living with a potential abuser.
The attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer know that your safety is the first consideration when dealing with a spouse who may become violent.
