Filing a Restraining Order

If you are in an abusive relationship and are afraid for you and your family’s safety, you can file for a restraining order against the abusive individual. There are many situations that would warrant a restraining order. They include:

• Physical assault and violence
• Threats of violence
• Physical, emotional, or sexual harassment

After requesting for a restraining order, a police officer will give the documents to the violator. This typically bars the abusive spouse from certain locations or actions, such as coming to your home or contacting you by phone. Failure to comply with a restraining order can lead to an arrest.
