These statistics are only for the US. Internationally, they are much higher. B J Fadem & Associates, APC is one of the few Law Firms that represents Clients with regard to Child Abduction/Removal of Child in Family Law matters.

Child Abduction as you can see is more common than we care to acknowledge. The parent may do it out of anger, may be violating Court Orders, or may honestly feel they are doing right by the child[ren]. Regardless, the Courts do not view such conduct favorably.

Your Family is what will be our focus on your behalf and all that is in their best interest legally. As a Family Law Firm we will fight for your legal rights with zealous, our extensive experience, expertise, vast and current knowledge of the law, and perseverance.

The reason I return time and time again is knowledgeable employees and the respect I am treated with. I also think that the noncondensending matter in which I was treated was a prime factor.

Not all restraining orders in California work the same way.Domestic violence restraining orders and civil harassment restraining orders apply to different relationships and follow different legal standards.Domestic violence protections generally apply to family members or partners.Civil harassment orders are typically used for neighbors, coworkers, roommates, or other individuals outside of a close relationship.In many situations, civil harassment cases require proof of a pattern of behavior, not just a single incident.Understanding these differences can make a significant impact if you are filing or responding to a restraining order.Follow @FademLaw for clear California family law insights.
How easy is it to get a restraining order in California?It depends on the type.For a civil harassment restraining order, one incident is usually not enough.You must show a pattern of harassment, threats, or abuse — and that it’s likely to continue.If the conduct stopped, or there’s no ongoing risk, the court is far less likely to step in.These cases carry a higher burden.Courts don’t issue restraining orders simply because there’s a dispute between people.Understanding the difference between “a conflict” and “a legal pattern of harassment” matters.
