What Is a Restraining Order?
A restraining order is a legal order that shields you from abuse, threats, or harassment by another person—often a current or former partner, spouse, or household member. These orders may include:
- No contact (in person, by phone, or online)
- Required stay-away distances (home, work, or school)
- Exclusive use of a residence
- Temporary custody or child safety measures
We help you file, serve, and represent your case in court to secure or challenge these vital legal protections.
