Domestic violence allegations in Hungary, an accusation of abuse by a spouse, partner, former partner or other relative, are handled under the offence of kapcsolati erőszak (violence within a relationship) or under offences such as testi sértés (bodily harm) and threats, and they often come together with a restraining order (távoltartás). People also search for “accused of domestic violence”, “domestic violence charges” or “false domestic violence accusation”. Some older lists and lawyer pages call this service “Cases of Alleged Domestic Violence”. This page is written for the person accused; whether an accusation is true is for the authorities and the court to decide. It is general information, not legal advice.
Foreign residents and their partners going through a separation, a parent in a dispute over children, a visitor accused during a stay, and relatives in another country trying to understand what has happened.
An order takes effect when it is announced, and the ban on contact includes messages and contact through other people. Seeing the children may need to be arranged through the court or the guardianship authority (gyámhatóság) while it runs. A criminal case can weigh in a custody dispute and, for a non-EU citizen, in residence matters. Deleting messages or contacting the other person to settle things usually makes the defence harder.
The lawyer explains the order and the accusation, represents the person at the court hearing on the restraining order, attends police questioning, requests the file, presents the person's own evidence and works with the family lawyer where children or a divorce are involved. Related pages: restraining orders (written for the person seeking protection), assault charges and criminal law in Hungary.
Yes, an interim order can require it even when the home belongs to the person who has to leave. The court then reviews whether a longer order is justified, and a lawyer can argue against it there.
Not necessarily. Many forms of violence between relatives are prosecuted by the state whatever the complainant says later. A lawyer explains which rule applies to the charge.
The defence presents its own evidence: messages, witnesses, medical and police records. A knowingly false accusation is a separate crime in Hungary (hamis vád), but that is a matter for the authorities and does not replace a defence in the case itself.
A conviction can be taken into account in immigration decisions. A lawyer checks the current rules for the person's status.

He is a highly professional and experienced lawyer based in Alicante. He explained my options and advised me on how to resolve my case. He did very well: the case was resolved and dismissed. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer in Alicante, Spain.
I found the professional extremely helpful and informative. The advice set my mind at ease, and I am completely satisfied with the help. I plan to get in touch again next year.
Thank you for everything. You came to my aid within two hours and have gone on supporting me through a very complicated case, always available whenever I have a question or need something.
The lawyer was very kind, professional and extremely knowledgeable. I only wish we had found him at the start, because I think the outcome would have been completely different.
He replied incredibly fast and soon found the answers I needed, so I started to feel less stressed. He went out of his way to make certain I understood the procedure and the legal terms, and the assistance could not have been better.
The lawyer handled my request very well, and his English was perfect. I am completely satisfied.
I asked the lawyer to help me trace where my father was born in Hungary. The lawyer was very diligent and took up my request right away, since there was not much time before I travelled to Hungary. Sadly we did not manage to find the address, and that was in no way his fault: the records in Mezafalva lacked the information needed from the mid 1930s. Still, I highly recommend this service, and him in particular.
I cannot praise my solicitor enough. He was patient, caring and knowledgeable, and he updated me on everything, even outside working hours and while he was on holiday! I am thankful to the service for connecting me with him, and to him for going above and beyond every time.
Thanks to the lawyer I reached a compromise in a dispute over a deposit with my landlord in Budapest. He is a real professional who will do all he can to solve a legal problem, and while he worked on my case he stayed responsive and flexible. I recommend him to everybody who needs legal help in Hungary.
After my daughter died, I asked the lawyer to help me close her bank account in Budapest. He was extremely helpful in handling the bank. It was a difficult situation, since getting proper information from them was quite hard, but he kept firmly on top of the case and did everything he could to make sure everything necessary was done. He always kept me properly informed about progress, and he also supported me with the local steps I had to take here in Luxembourg with the Hungarian Consulate. He assisted with other Hungarian administrative papers that had come in for my daughter too, so that nothing stayed pending, and he took the time to contact the offices concerned to tell them she had died and to see that whatever needed doing with them got done. I could not have resolved this without him. He was very professional throughout, and I felt he got truly involved in the matter. His English was perfect, so we never had trouble understanding each other. I deeply appreciated his help, and it would be a pleasure to meet him one day and thank him in person. A better person and better support would have been impossible to ask for.
I am very thankful to the lawyer, and completely satisfied with the result.
