Civil Restraining Order

A Civil Restraining Order is a legal order issued by a court to protect someone from harassment, abuse, or threats by another person. It restricts the targeted individual from contacting, approaching, or engaging with the protected person in specific ways. These orders are used in situations such as domestic violence, stalking, or harassment to ensure safety and prevent further harm. Violating a restraining order can lead to legal consequences, including fines or arrest. Essentially, it’s a formal way the law helps ensure your safety by limiting the actions of someone who poses a threat.
