1:07 I’ve been charged with domestic violence (not convicted). If I’m convicted will I lose joint custody of my son?

Answer: That’s a good question. From the standpoint of a criminal defense attorney, it can possibly happen. If the child is remotely present during the alleged act of violence towards your spouse, the child can also be considered to be a victim or alleged victim of the act of domestic violence, under the theory that their mental health was in danger. Obviously, if you get convicted, you will be prone to losing the custody, in fact any conviction can affect the custody issue. Your best approach can be to hire an experienced attorney who handles matters related to divorce, custody etc and is also a criminal defense attorney so that he can defend you both in family court and criminal court.

2:49 My ex-husband has been convicted of domestic violence. I would like to get a restraining order. Is all I need to do is go to this link and complete the form?

Answer: Yes, you can visit California court’s website and fill out the necessary details. It is always better to go to the court and have the assistance of an attorney. If your husband has already been convicted of domestic violence in criminal court and if he is still on probation, as part of that probationary sentence, the protective orders may already be in place. However, you definitely have rights to go and petition through civil court.

4:09 I was convicted 11 years ago of felony domestic violence. Can I get this removed from my record?

Answer: 1203.4 relief of the Penal Code, commonly referred to as expungement, is the best relief you can hope for. You must have successfully completed your probation, after that you are eligible to get your conviction set aside and the case dismissed. That would help you in many aspects, not as many as you think of but it is the best relief you can get.
