If you feel you need additional protection from the defendant, you may want to consider visiting the local Family Court and filing for a restraining order. These orders typically stay in place for one year.
It can be a crime and contempt of court if the abuser knowingly violates the order in any way. Contempt of court is when someone breaks a court order.
You can file an opposition to the application or a motion asking the court to dissolve or modify the order, or you can appeal from the court's grant of an extended protection order.
Hear this out loud PauseAn Order of Protection (also known as a restraining order) is a document issued by a court and signed by a judge to help protect you from harassment or abuse. It restricts someone who has abused a family/household member, spouse or partner in a dating relationship.
In an Order of Protection, a judge can set limits on your partner's behavior. Among other things, a judge can: Order your partner to stop abusing you and your children. Tell your partner to leave and stay away from your home, your workplace and your family.
Hear this out loud PauseYou risk arrest for violating the restraining order if you go there by yourself, even using the civil standby process. Using a civil standby makes you vulnerable to more misdemeanor criminal charges.
Hear this out loud PauseA domestic violence protective order remains in effect until 1 of 3 things happen: (1) the charges are dropped by the prosecutor (called a nolle), (2) the charges are dismissed by the Court at trial; or (3) the court grants a motion for modification of the protective order prior to the conclusion of your case.
Hear this out loud PauseConsult an attorney. Asking the court to change or terminate an order it has issued to protect a victim of domestic violence isn't a simple or easy thing. Because judges often are predisposed against dropping a no-contact order, having an attorney on your side can ensure the best arguments are made.
