Domestic violence cases don’t just stay in criminal court, they often spill into family law, shaping the outcome of divorce, custody, and even visitation rights.
In this episode of Melone Hatley’s I Now Pronounce You Divorced, COO Dan Cuneo sits down with San Antonio Family Law Attorney Valerie Cortinas Fisher to unpack the complex overlap between domestic violence, divorce, custody, and criminal law in Texas.
Together, they break down:
◾How criminal charges can complicate divorce and custody proceedings
◾Why bond conditions may restrict contact with children or spouses
◾The differences in the burden of proof between criminal and family courts
◾And more!
Whether you’re an attorney, a professional working with families, or someone navigating these challenges yourself, tune in for valuable insight on how criminal and family courts interact—and what effective legal representation really looks like.
