If a partner or relative has committed abuse against you, your child or another family member, it is important that you take steps to protect yourself and your loved ones. A domestic violence restraining order, also called a protective order, may be appropriate.

The process of being granted a restraining order commences when you complete a petition. If the petition is granted by the court, then an injunction hearing is scheduled. At that hearing, the court may grant you an injunction, which is the final order of protection.
