Were you injured as a result of domestic violence? In addition to getting a restraining order against your spouse and aside from any criminal case against your husband or wife, you may bring a civil complaint for compensation for your injuries against your abusive spouse when filing for divorce. A legal precedent was set in the case of Janina Tevis v. Michael Tevis, Jr., in 1979. Mrs. Tevis was awarded $35,000 in damages for a physical beating committed by her husband during the divorce process, as part of her divorce settlement.
