A household argument ended with police in the room — and now there may be a charge, an order of protection, and a door you can't walk back through. Breathe. There's a process, it moves fast at first, and understanding it is step one.
New York has a mandatory arrest framework for domestic violence: when police respond to a family-offense call and find probable cause of certain offenses, an arrest is generally required. At arraignment the court will typically issue an order of protection — which may be a full “stay-away” order removing you from the home, or a limited order — and it is enforceable immediately. Family-offense matters can also proceed in Family Court on a parallel track, or both. This deserves counsel right away.
Stabilize visibly: somewhere to stay, work unbroken, counsel retained — and the one documented step available immediately: program enrollment. In both the criminal matter and any Family Court proceeding, “enrolled within days, letter on file” reads as someone taking it seriously. A live remote program means you can begin from wherever you're staying, with same-day letters and sessions formatted for New York courts. One scope note: where a court specifically orders a batterer's intervention program, that is a distinct program category — confirm your order's exact language with your attorney before enrolling anywhere.
