Protective Restraining Orders
In family law, filing a restraining order is meant to protect an individual from an abusive partner, whether a spouse or an intimate partner. The order can be a temporary emergency order that lasts for a few days or a permanent order that prohibits contact for much longer period. An order for protection is a serious court order and can have long lasting repercussions.
