Description:
Domestic violence has been on the rise since the shutdown orders went
into effect across the country. During this webinar we will address the
unique challenges the pandemic has created for victims of abuse, discuss
safe ways for you to speak with clients seeking protective orders, walk
you through the process for filing and obtaining temporary orders of
protection, and outline next steps until the courts re-open. We will
also briefly touch upon the related issues of custody, visitation, and
support filings.
