Jersey City Domestic Violence Factors

The Final TRO hearings for domestic violence charges inJersey City and Newark are very interesting. These hearings or trials occur shortly after the alleged incident took place so limited discovery and time pressure are major issues to be concerned with. The Domestic Violence charges may be brought in Superior Court where the civil action is heard, while the criminal matters may be heard in the local Municipal Court or the Criminal Part of the Superior Court. The Jersey City Municipal Court will not simply dismiss a simple assault charge when in conjunction with a domestic violence case regardless of what the victim wants to do. The case is in the State's hands. Judges in the final TRO hearing, look at the past allegations or past incidents of domestic violence, the chance of another incident, the current relationship between the parties, where the parties live, do the parties have children together, the need of a permanent restraining order and so forth. A domestic violence case may be brought before a divorce matter or during a divorce proceeding. If you face a domestic violence charge in civil or criminal courts, contact us today.
