Will I need a bodyguard on the day of the divorce litigation?

In the case of a divorce lawsuit arising from domestic violence, it is entirely understandable that a party to the lawsuit feels anxious out of concern about the other party's retaliation or threats.

Inside the courtroom where the divorce lawsuit proceeds, court security personnel are stationed to prevent assault or threatening conduct from occurring.

However, if there is a possibility of a threat from the other party at the court entrance or hallway, or in the course of moving before and after the lawsuit, using a personal security service is also one option that may be available.

In particular, if there is a clear history of domestic violence or a continued threat is anticipated despite a restraining order, substantive protection may be needed.

In fact, many domestic violence victims move safely by bringing a bodyguard when attending court.

In addition to hiring a bodyguard, legal and administrative measures such as a restraining order and a request for personal protection are in place, so it is advisable to review these first.

Therefore, although safety inside the courtroom is ensured, if you feel great anxiety in the course of entering and leaving the court, it is advisable to consider bringing a bodyguard or to request a police escort.
