FAQs From Fairfield Clients

Can I get a restraining order without the abuser being arrested?

Yes. In Fairfield, a restraining order can be granted even if the abuser has not been arrested. The court looks at the threat and evidence, not just arrests. Sometimes the order is the first legal step to stop abuse before criminal charges are filed. It is a way to get protection quickly and legally. The abuser must then follow the order or face consequences.

What happens if the abuser denies the abuse in court?

Denials happen often. The court looks at all evidence, not just what the abuser says. Witnesses, documents, and police reports can prove the abuse. It is important to stay calm and let the facts speak. The judge decides based on proof, not just claims. Denying abuse does not stop the legal process or the protections given to victims.

Are there programs in Fairfield to help victims recover?

Yes. Fairfield offers counseling, support groups, and help with housing or job training. These programs help victims heal and regain independence. Support is available from local nonprofits and government agencies. Healing takes time but these programs provide tools and community to move forward.

Can children be protected in domestic violence cases?

Courts in Fairfield put children’s safety first. If children witness or are harmed by domestic violence, the court may limit contact with the abuser or order counseling. Custody decisions focus on protecting children from harm. Child protection services may get involved if needed. Keeping kids safe is a top priority in these cases.
