Protecting Your Rights And Your Innocence

Thousands of people are falsely accused of domestic violence every year. Most of these allegations are toward men and have very serious consequences. Many times the false domestic violence accusations are made simply to get what the accuser wants.

Actual domestic violence involves inflicting harm to another individual. Types of abuse include:

• Physical abuse: Kicking, hitting or scratching a family member
• Emotional abuse: Verbal threats, screaming and emotional attacks
• Sexual abuse: Forcing another person into sexual acts

Do not make the mistake of thinking that because you did not actually cause any harm, you do not need the help of a defense lawyer. You may know you are innocent, but the judge does not.

Custody Battles Often Lead To False Allegations Of Domestic Violence

Unfortunately, false allegations of domestic violence in Wisconsin occur during divorces in order to get the upper hand in a custody battle. If you are a victim of this type of false accusation, do not let the other parent ruin your future. Attorney Govin understands how frustrating this situation can be.

Allow a skilled criminal defense attorney to prove your innocence. An organization called Respecting Accuracy in Domestic Abuse Reporting (RADAR) has found that false allegations of domestic violence occur in a quarter of all divorces. There are steps to take to help avoid these types of situations. Some helpful tips include:

• Having another individual present when speaking to your partner after a divorce is requested
• Report threats of false allegations to authorities immediately
• Avoid direct conflicts
