本文是由中部澤西法律服務處資深律師 – Susan McCue, Esq. 撰寫 (Nov. 29, 2024) 臨時限制令A (Temporary Restraining Order 簡稱TRO) 是法官可以簽發的民事命令,要求施虐者遠離家暴的倖存者。 TRO 還可以提供其他類型的民事救濟。 如果您遭受配偶、前配偶、家人、與您有約會關係的人以及與您有孩子的人的家庭暴力,您就有資格申請 TRO。 您可以在法院上班時間親自到郡法院申請 TRO,或在法院下班時間親自到警察局申請 TRO。您可以在家暴發生的地點、您居住的地方、您的臨時庇護所的所在地或施虐者居住的地方提出申請。 在您的申請中,您必須至少說明被告最近一次對您實施的一項具體家暴行為。 您還必須列出過去針對您發生的家暴行為。要詳細完整地列出當前和過去的家暴行為。法院不能允許您就申請書中未書面提及的事實作證。如果您沒有列出您希望在最終聽證會上作證的家暴行為,您可以修改您的 TRO(添加資訊)。為此,請前往案件所在的
現在正值年中,八月,孩子們九月就要開始一個新的學年,您也想要有一個新的開始。但是您有一堆醫療賬單、信用卡債務、汽車貸款、水電瓦斯費和其他您想要處理的費用,但您不確定該如何處理。如果這是您所處的狀況,那麼申請破產是您重新開始,讓未償債務消失,將以前的糟糕經歷一筆勾銷的最佳選擇之一。 第一步是要決定您應該申請哪種類型的破產以及原因。第 7 章用於解除最主要的與個人相關(無關生意)的債務,如同前面所提及的債務。第 13 章用於制定長達 60 個月的還款計劃,以償還您的抵押貸款、汽車貸款和其他債務。第11章主要用於企業重組,第12章是用於農場。 本文將重點放在申請第7章破產,以解除消費者債務。在您的破產請願書(petition)中,您必須列出您所有的債務。這點非常重要,因為第7章破產的申請,只限於每 8 年一次。未能列出您所有的債務可能會導致沒列出的債務無法被免除,並且您仍將負責償還那些債務。如果您未能在法院下達解除您債務的命令之前,修正您的請願書以包括您可能忘記的任何債務,您將需要從上次提交請願書之日起等待 8 年才能再次提交。 除了列出您的債務外,您還必須列出您每個月的家庭和個人開支,以及您的勞動所得收入(earned income) 和非勞動所得收入(unearned income) 的來源(例如就業employment、失業unemployment、社會安全福利Social Security benefits等)。您還必須在申請破產之前完成信用諮詢課程(credit counseling course),並且您的課程結業證明副本必須與破產申請一起提交。 當您提交請願書時,您必須向美國破產法院支付 338 美元的申請費。您可以透過電子方式支付這筆款項,也可以親自到破產法院的窗口支付。如果您無法一次性支付全部費用,也可以簽訂付款計劃(payment
移民政策可能會兩極化、有爭議性且複雜。國會制定了不同形式的救濟措施,特別是針對家庭暴力和犯罪的受害者。對於暴力關係或犯罪的受害者來說,如果他們擔心被驅逐出境或仰賴施虐者幫助他們調整身份,那麼面臨潛在的移民後果可能會阻止他們向當局舉報。 針對家庭暴力受害者的 VAWA(Violence Against Women Act反對婦女暴力法案,簡稱 VAWA)。1994 年,國會通過了 VAWA,為家庭暴力受害者開闢了獲得合法移民身分的途徑。儘管該法規有“婦女”一詞,但它適用於任何性別的家庭暴力受害者。符合資格的一個重要要求是,提交請願書的受害者必須是與施虐者結了婚,施虐者是美國公民或合法永久居民。然而,家庭暴力受害者可以自行申請 VAWA,無需施虐者配偶的支持。 美國公民及移民服務局 (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services 簡稱 USCIS ) 在評估受害者和施虐者是否真誠締結婚姻並共同居住時,至關重要。一項基本要求還在於,受害者請願人遭受了施虐配偶的毆打和極端殘忍行為。此外,受害者必須表現出良好的道德品質。 VAWA 的保護也適用於直接遭受虐待的美國公民和/或合法永久居民的兒童和父母。否則,即使受害者的子女沒有直接遭受虐待,只要他們在提交申請時未滿 21 歲,就可以將其作為受益人,納入 VAWA
