Protective Order for Domestic Abuse
What is a Protective Order?
A protective order, also known as a restraining order or order of protection, is a legal document issued by a court to protect individuals from domestic abuse or violence. It is designed to provide immediate legal protection to victims and ensure their safety from further harm.
Why You Need a Protective Order
If you are a victim of domestic abuse, obtaining a protective order is crucial to ensure your safety and the safety of your loved ones. A protective order can:
- Prohibit the abuser from contacting or approaching you
- Require the abuser to move out of your shared residence
- Grant temporary custody of children
- Provide protection for pets
- Allow for the supervision of visitation
- Ensure the abuser cannot possess firearms
