Domestic Violence

In Florida, domestic violence is taken very seriously by both the criminal courts as well as the civil courts. In the context of family law, a victim of domestic abuse can petition the court to create a legal document that requires the person perpetrating the domestic violence to stay away from the victim.

Domestic violence in Florida has two basic elements. There must be some act—whether an overt act or merely a threat—and that act must be committed against a person with whom the actor has a familial relationship. In order for an act to be domestic violence, the victim must have some family-like relationship with the person engaging in the domestic violence.

If you have been the victim of domestic abuse and wish to pursue remedies in family court, contact Sandy T. Fox, an experienced Broward County family law attorney and Florida Bar Board certified specialist in Marital & Family Law.

Client Reviews

"Sandy Fox is a diamond in the rough. He is your advocate and comes from a sincere place of care and compassion when it comes to your family. As a mother of an infant (at the time) having divorce papers thrown at me and challenging emotional obstacles to overcome, Sandy was always available for me on his cell after hours and always explained things in practical layman's terms." Nicole A.

"Sandy Fox to the rescue! He patiently heard me out (some venting too, I imagine) and then him and I discussed my options. He was compassionate, understanding and little did he know, gave me my motivation back. Selecting him as my attorney saved me a lot time and money. He is a Superstar in my book. I remain very thankful to him and the staff. I am glad he was on my team. You will be too." Liz M.

"Aside from his direct and open communications as to what was to be expected; within a few days, I was already seeing results. Sandy's no-nonsense approach to Family Law was exactly what I was seeking and I am thankful, every day, for his intervention. I highly recommend Sandy Fox; you get what you pay for (and then some)."
