protection order

Read a random definition: Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO)

A quick definition of protection order:

A protection order is a court order that prohibits someone from hurting or threatening another person. This type of order is usually given in cases of domestic violence. It can also prevent someone from contacting or approaching the person they are not allowed to hurt or threaten. The court may give a protection order right away if there is an immediate danger. It is important to follow the protection order to keep everyone safe.

A more thorough explanation:

A protection order, also known as a restraining order, is a court order that prohibits family violence. It restricts a person from harassing, threatening, or contacting another specified person. This type of order is commonly issued in cases of domestic violence.

  • A woman who has been physically abused by her partner can obtain a protection order to prevent him from coming near her or contacting her.
  • A man who has been stalked by his ex-girlfriend can obtain a restraining order to prevent her from following him or contacting him.

These examples illustrate how a protection order can be used to protect individuals from further harm by restricting the actions of the abuser or stalker.

A temporary restraining order is a court order entered to prevent the dissipation or loss of property. It is different from a protection order, which is used to prevent family violence.
