About Restraining Orders

Restraining orders are court orders that prevent a person from coming in contact with another individual. They can also stop someone from visiting a particular place such as home or workplace. It also prohibits sending communication to the person who requested the order through another individual. Restraining orders are issued to protect people who feel threatened, harassed or endangered by another person.

The most common type of restraining order is a domestic violence restraining order. If the alleged abuse does not qualify as a domestic violence matter, then a civil restraining order can be issued. Civil restraining orders are typically used for neighbors, roommates and co-workers.
