Orders of Protection
Abusers are not necessarily easy to spot. They may appear loving and concerned in public and completely opposite when they are alone with their family. Domestic violence affects every member of the family, including the children. You have a right to live without fear for yourself or your children. Certain circumstances warrant an order of protection.
Victims of domestic violence can file for an order of protection that will help prevent further contact or abuse. This type of order may also include temporary child custody and a visitation schedule, and it often includes prohibitions regarding in-person contact, telephone calls, and other means of contact.
