Transnational domestic violence case: successfully protected the victim

By : Harries Malik

Case Overview:

The case concerned an American female victim (hereinafter referred to as the "Plaintiff") who suffered a long history of domestic violence at the hands of her husband (hereinafter referred to as the "defendant"). The plaintiff repeatedly tried to solve the problem through communication, but the defendant's behavior became increasingly serious, which led to the plaintiff's physical and mental exhaustion. Eventually, Plaintiff decided to seek legal help to protect herself and her children's safety.

Legal Response:

Consultation and evidence gathering:
The lawyer team had a detailed understanding of the plaintiff's experience and the background of the case, and collected relevant evidence, including medical records, alarm records, photos, etc. We provided the plaintiff with professional legal advice and analyzed the legal basis of the case and possible litigation strategies.

Multinational cooperative tracking:
We advise the plaintiff to report the case to the local public security organ as soon as possible and assist him in preparing the report materials. At the same time, we have applied for an emergency protection order for the plaintiff to ensure her personal safety. Through our coordination, the police quickly stepped in to investigate and control the accused.

Litigation and recovery of property:
During the trial, we elaborated the plaintiff's claims and legal basis, and provided sufficient evidence to support them. The defense argued that his behavior was a domestic dispute, but we proved the defendant's domestic violence through medical records, police records and other evidence. In the end, the court found that the defendant constituted domestic violence, awarded divorce, custody to the plaintiff, and divided the couple's community property.

Follow-up Support and rehabilitation:
After the court decision took effect, we continued to provide follow-up support to the plaintiff, including legal advice and psychological counseling. At the same time, we assisted the plaintiff in applying for a government-sponsored program for victims of domestic violence to help her reintegrate into society

Outcome and Summary:

Through our professional legal services, the plaintiff successfully got rid of the trouble of domestic violence and gained freedom and dignity. The court awarded the divorce, awarded custody to the plaintiff, and divided the couple's community property, ensuring the financial security of the plaintiff and the children. In addition, through psychological counseling and support, the plaintiff gradually regained her self-confidence and started a new life.
