How An Order Can Help

Just as in a domestic violence situation, an order of protection for criminal abuse protects the victim from the abuser.

The abuser may be legally required to do any or all of the below:

  • Stay away from the victim, the victim's children or family, the victim's household or work location, etc.
  • End all communications to the victim
  • Pay for all or part of legal fees
  • Pay for any damages (physical or property)
  • Get counseling
  • Turn in any firearms to the authorities

Am I Eligible for an Order of Protection?

The state allows a victim to file a petition with the family court if:

  • The victim is or was legally married to the abuser
  • The victim is related to the abuser by blood or marriage
  • The victim is or was in an intimate relationship with the abuser
  • The victim has a child with the abuser
