What Is A Restraining Order And How Can It Help You?
A restraining order, also known as a protection order, is a legal document that prohibits an abuser from contacting or coming near you. It is a powerful tool that can offer you physical protection from your abuser, peace of mind in your home and workplace and legal recourse if the order is violated
Restraining orders are versatile and can be obtained to protect you from various forms of abuse, including:
- Physical violence or threats
- Emotional and psychological abuse
- Verbal harassment and intimidation
- Financial control and exploitation
If any of these behaviors describe what you are going through, taking legal action may be crucial to securing your safety and independence.

- Filing a petition with the court
