Domestic Violence for Arab families in Dallas
Dallas County Family Courts and Collin County Courts (for Plano/Richardson residents) handle divorce and custody. Texas is a community property state, which significantly affects asset division. The DFW metroplex's Arab community is spread across multiple counties, and custody disputes sometimes cross county lines. Arabic-speaking family lawyers handle Islamic marriage contracts and international custody matters.
The domestic violence process with an Arab lawyer
Our Arabic-speaking domestic violence attorneys guide you through every step of your case in Dallas.
1
Safety Assessment & Planning
We assess your immediate safety and develop a plan. This includes identifying safe housing, securing important documents, and protecting your immigration status. Everything is confidential.
2
Emergency Protective Order
We file for an emergency protective order that can be granted the same day without the abuser being present (ex parte). This provides immediate legal protection while longer-term solutions are put in place.

Court Hearing for Permanent Order
Within 2-3 weeks, a hearing is held where you present evidence and the abuser can respond. We prepare you thoroughly and present a compelling case for permanent protection.

Immigration Protection (VAWA/U-Visa)
If your immigration status is connected to the abuser, we file VAWA self-petitions or U-visa applications to secure independent immigration status. The abuser is not notified.

Client review
“My husband had a second wife in Egypt that I didn't know about. When I found out, I filed for divorce immediately. My lawyer used the hidden marriage as evidence of fraud in our property division. I got the house and primary custody. She was fierce in court.”

Client review
“My ex-husband tried to get full custody claiming I was an unfit mother. It was all lies. My lawyer gathered character witnesses from our community, school records, doctor records. Judge awarded me primary custody with generous visitation for him. She fought for me like it was her own family.”

Client review
“My husband controlled all the money. I had no access to our bank accounts, no car in my name, nothing. My lawyer got a temporary support order right away so I could pay rent while the divorce was pending. Then she uncovered he was making twice what he claimed. Fair settlement finally.”
