What Is a Protective Order?

Alleged victims of domestic or family violence can apply for a court order to protect them from further stalking or sexual abuse. These “protective orders” can set different terms prohibiting the alleged abuser from making any contact with the petitioner, and there are different kinds of protective orders for domestic abuse, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking. 

A protective order can include terms like:

• requiring you not to hurt, threaten, or harass the petitioner or their children, either directly or indirectly;
• prohibiting you from committing further family violence;
• prohibiting communication with or through a protected individual or household member in a threatening or harassing way;
• prohibiting communication of any kind, whether in person, through social media, or through any other electronic means;
• requiring you to stay away from the petitioner, their family, their home, their workplace, and their children’s daycare or school;
• granting care, custody, or control of a shared pet or companion animal to the petitioner; 
• taking away your firearm carry and possession rights;
• ordering you to pay child support and/or medical support;
• setting modified terms and conditions for visitation with any children you have together with the petitioner;
• ordering you to move out of the shared home, even if you own the home (also called a “kick-out order”);
• ordering you to attend anger management classes;
• ordering you to attend a substance abuse treatment program;
• ordering regular or occasional drug testing.
