3. What does a Restraining Order do?
If you are a victim of domestic violence, a judge can sign
an Order of Protection that requires the abuser to obey the law. The order is
very specific in as far as what the abuser can and can’t do.
The abuser can be
ordered not to have any contact with you, in person or by phone, at home, work,
or almost anywhere you ask the court to put in the order. The order against
contact may also protect other people in your family.
The court can
order the abuser to leave the house or apartment that you and the abuser share;
even if it is in the abuser's name.
