Protective Orders can be issued in the event of domestic violence and they can provide victims safeguards such as:
Ordering an offender not to have any contact with the victim except as authorized by the Court.
Ordering the offender not to be within a specified distance of the victim, usually 500-1000 feet.
Ordering the offender to vacate the residence shared with the victim.
Protective Orders can address other issues as well including temporary custody and support of children. The Temporary Protective Order is valid for 14 days, at that time a hearing is held and the Judge decides whether to issue a Domestic Violence Order, which can be issued for up to three years. If you have any questions about Domestic Violence issues, please contact the Police Department at the number listed at the beginning of this pamphlet.
