Injunctions for Protection Against Domestic Violence

An injunction for protection against domestic violence is a legal order issued by a court that restricts the abusive individual from contacting or coming near the victim. It aims to ensure the safety of those experiencing harm by prohibiting actions such as harassment, threats, or physical contact. These orders can be temporary or permanent and often include specific conditions to help protect the victim and any involved children. Violating an injunction can lead to legal consequences, emphasizing its role as a safeguard for individuals at risk of domestic violence.
