Legal rights for victims of domestic violence in the United States

 

Every citizen in the United States, regardless of immigration or citizenship status, is provided with some rights as mentioned below:

·         The right to get a protection order

·         The right to legal separation or divorce without the consent of your partner

·         The right to share the property; in case of divorce, the court will divide any property you and your spouse have together.

·         The right to ask for custody of your kids and financial support.  It is important to know that parents of children under the age of 21 often are required to pay child support for any child not living with them.



Consult an immigration lawyer who has the experience of working with immigrants to discuss how various legal options may affect or assist you.

Under U.S. law, regardless of immigration or citizenship status, anyone can call the police for help or obtain a protection order.

 Remember that, if you are a victim of domestic violence you can apply to a court for a protection order. For more information, it is recommended to contact The Law Offices of C.
