Protective Order Support for Galveston County Families

A protective order can place legal restrictions on someone when qualifying conduct has occurred under Texas law. Depending on the circumstances, the court may restrict contact, access to certain locations, or behavior that threatens your safety.

The details matter. The court will consider what happened and the evidence presented when deciding whether protection is appropriate.

Our experienced family law attorneys, Blair Parker and Rachel Aguilar, help clients throughout Galveston County prepare for protective order proceedings. We explain your options in clear terms and help you understand each stage of the case.

  • Family Violence Protective Orders:  Family violence can involve spouses, former spouses, relatives, household members, or people in certain dating relationships. We help clients understand whether their circumstances may qualify for protection and prepare the information needed to present their case. Depending on the court’s findings, an order may restrict contact or require someone to stay away from certain locations.
  • Temporary Protective Orders: Some situations require immediate attention. When there is a clear and present danger of family violence, a Texas court may issue a temporary ex parte protective order before a full hearing takes place. We can review your circumstances, explain the requirements, and help you prepare an application for temporary protection when appropriate.
  • Protecting Children: When children are involved, their safety and daily needs deserve careful attention. A protective order may address temporary issues involving contact or visitation. Our attorneys help parents understand how these protections may affect their children and any existing custody arrangements.
  • Protective Order Hearings:  A protective order hearing gives the court an opportunity to review evidence and hear from the people involved. We help you prepare beforehand so you understand what to expect. During the proceeding, our attorneys can present relevant information and advocate for protections that reflect the circumstances of your case.
  • Protective Orders During Divorce or Custody Cases: Protective order proceedings can overlap with divorce or child custody matters. Safety concerns may affect parenting arrangements, temporary orders, or decisions involving contact between family members. Because Parker & Aguilar focuses on family law, we can help you understand how the protective order may affect other legal issues involving your family.
  • Violations of Protective Orders: A protective order carries legal consequences. If someone violates an existing order, the circumstances may require prompt attention. We can explain how the violation may affect your family law matter and what legal options may be available. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
