90 percent of verbal abuse results in physical abuse

Posted on July 30th, 2010 No Comments

As a result of the recently released abusive phone messages left from Mel Gibson to his girlfriend, domestic violence experts and psychologists are spreading the word to remind people that verbal abuse results in physical abuse 90 percent of the time.

Verbal abuse often goes unrecognized and unreported, but spokesperson for The Center Against Family Violence in El Paso, Texas Cesar Campa states, “If they’re not respecting you, the best bet is to get out of the relationship”.

Furthermore he stated, “You don’t have to wait until you’ve already been hit, or you’ve already been beaten and you’re already on your way to the hospital.  If you are in eminent danger, if you feel that they have been threatening you, they’re harassing you and you feel like, ‘Yes, something is definitely going to happen,’ you can get help”.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of domestic violence, contact the Houston domestic violence attorneys of Garg & Associates P.C. at 281-210-0010 to learn more about your rights.

The effect of divorce on children

Posted on May 25th, 2010 No Comments

When spouses with children go through a divorce, they must resolve a number of issues. One important issue is determining how the children will be cared for after the divorce.

In some cases, one of the spouses may wish to terminate his or her parental rights. Such a termination of the parent-child relationship must be approved by the court.

Courts may approve the termination as long as such a termination is in the best interests of the children.

How to handle your spouse’s mail during a divorce proceeding

Posted on May 11th, 2010 No Comments

When spouses go through divorce proceedings, they often will live in different places. When this occurs, the mail of one spouse may be sent to the residence of the other spouse.

When this occurs, the spouse likely will not want to open mail addressed solely to their spouse. Instead, they should forward the mail to their spouse or send it to the attorney to forward. However, that spouse may want to make a copy of the envelope if it seems to involve a suspicious financial or romantic matter related to the divorce proceedings.
