Protection Order

A Protection Order is a legal directive issued by a court that helps keep someone safe from another person who may pose a threat, often in cases of domestic violence, harassment, or stalking. It can prohibit the alleged abuser from contacting or coming near the victim and may include temporary custody arrangements for children or the possession of shared property. Violation of a Protection Order can lead to legal consequences for the person it is against. The aim is to provide immediate safety and establish boundaries to protect the victim's well-being.
