Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

General FAQ

A restraining order, also known as a protective order or an order of protection, is a legal directive issued by a court that prohibits an individual from contacting or approaching another person, typically to prevent harassment, abuse, or violence.

To obtain a restraining order, you typically need to file a petition with the court that outlines the reasons for seeking the order and provides evidence supporting your request. The process may vary depending on your location and the type of restraining order you’re seeking.

A restraining order lawyer can provide legal advice and representation throughout the restraining order process. They can help you understand your rights, gather evidence, complete and file the necessary paperwork, represent you in court hearings, and ensure your interests are protected.
