Restraining Orders
Restraining Orders are legal measures designed to protect individuals who have been victims of abuse, harassment, threats, or violence.
These orders can help you maintain legal distance from someone who poses a risk to your safety and well-being.
Who can apply?
You may qualify if you have been a victim of:
- Domestic violence
- Harassment or threats
- Physical, emotional, or psychological abuse
- Conduct that puts your safety or your family’s safety at risk
What protection do they offer?
A restraining order may:
- Prohibit the person from approaching or contacting you
- Require them to stay away from your home, workplace, or school
- Include protection for your children or other family members
- Establish additional measures to ensure your safety

The process generally includes:
- Filing a request with the court
- Obtaining a temporary protective order
