Feeling safe should never be negotiable. ⚖️
A Protective Order is one of the legal tools available to help individuals facing threats, harassment, stalking, or family violence. These orders are designed to create boundaries and provide protection when someone’s safety is at risk.
For example, if a person has been threatened or physically harmed by a current or former spouse, they may ask the court for a Protective Order. Depending on the circumstances, the order may restrict contact, prevent the individual from coming near certain locations, and help reduce the risk of further harmful behavior.
Understanding your options is an important first step toward protecting yourself and your family.
