What Are Protective Orders?
Orders of protection and restraining orders are issued by a judge to keep distance between an allegedly abusive person and his or her victim. Most protective orders are temporary but can be extended or made permanent in certain situations.
In order to obtain a protective order on the grounds of domestic abuse, you must allege that the abuser:
- Physically hurt you or attempted to hurt you
- Has threatened you with serious injury
- Has physically restrained you in some capacity
- Maliciously destroyed your property
- Injured or threatened/attempted to injure a pet that you or your minor child owns
If any of the above apply, you should seek a temporary protective order, which can be assessed and implemented quickly.
This order can prevent the abuser from:
- Further harming you or threatening to harm you
- Contacting you
- Approaching you
- Visiting your home, workplace, or school (or those of your child)
- Remaining in your shared home if you live together
