Child Abuse
Legal Protection for Children in High-Risk Situations
Few accusations are more damaging to a parent’s reputation and future than being accused of child abuse. These claims—whether true or false—can turn custody battles upside down and have lasting effects on your family, your rights, and your relationship with your child. At Hernandez Family Law, we understand the seriousness of these allegations and the importance of a strong, strategic defense.
The Impact of Child Abuse Allegations
When child abuse is alleged in the context of divorce or custody disputes, the consequences can be immediate and severe. Judges and child protective agencies act quickly to protect children, sometimes before all the facts are known. Parents facing these accusations may experience:
- Loss of custody or restrictions on visitation
- Supervised parenting time or suspension of contact altogether
- Damage to their reputation within the community
- Criminal investigations or charges
- Long-term challenges in rebuilding relationships with their children
Even if the allegations are ultimately proven false, the process itself can be overwhelming, stressful, and emotionally draining.
False Allegations in Custody Disputes
Unfortunately, child abuse allegations are sometimes raised during heated custody disputes as a way to gain leverage. While courts treat every claim seriously, unfounded accusations can unfairly jeopardize a parent’s rights. Defending against these claims requires careful investigation and experienced legal representation to ensure that the truth comes to light.
