Understanding the nature of restraining orders

Restraining orders are known as legal tools developed for protecting a person who claims they are being harassed, abused, or threatened. These orders may provide the required protection in some cases; however, there are examples of misuse during divorce, personal disputes, or custody battles. If you are struggling with a restraining order, it can also impact your family life and reputation. At Roderman & Johnston, we recognize the seriousness of these matters and will always be there to protect your civil rights.

Types of restraining orders

Restraining orders can vary depending on the circumstances. The usual types are –

• Abuse prevention orders (209A orders) – usually issued during domestic violence or a relationship between intimate partners.
• Harassment prevention orders (258 orders) – utilized in cases where alleged stalking, threats, and harassment are included.

Every type of order has a specific procedure that must be followed. A minor violation can result in severe penalties and criminal charges.
