Domestic Violence Restraining Order

A Domestic Violence Restraining Order is a legal document issued by the court to protect a victim of domestic violence from further abuse or harassment. The order may include provisions related to custody and visitation, such as prohibiting the abuser from having contact with the child or requiring supervised visitation. The order may also include other provisions, such as requiring the abuser to stay away from the victim’s home or workplace, or to surrender any firearms. A Domestic Violence Restraining Order helps ensure the safety and well-being of the victim and any children involved in the case.
