 Sometimes
when a relationship or marriage ends, one of the
parties does not handle the situation in a mature
and responsible manner.
Based on this instability, perceived or vocal
physical threats, or prior domestic violence
incidents, an individual may request a domestic
injunction protective order, also commonly
referred to as a restraining order.
A domestic injunction is a court ordered
injunction specifying stipulations for an individual
to have no contact with the individual or other
parties named in the protective court order.
A domestic injunction, or order of
protection, basically serves two main purposes:
-
To inform the recipient of the restraining order
of the legal restrictions which have been
ordered against them;
-
To create legal sanctions if the Court’s order
is violated.
