What Is a Domestic Violence Injunction?
A domestic violence injunction, also called a restraining order, is a legal order issued by the court to protect victims of abuse or violence from further harm. Injunctions prohibit the alleged abuser from engaging in specific behaviors related to the protected person in their home, workplace, or school.
Several types of injunctions can be issued, depending on the situation, including injunctions for protection against repeat violence, dating violence, sexual violence, and stalking.
A domestic violence injunction may include the following terms and conditions, depending on the circumstances:
- Prohibiting any contact with the victim.
- Requiring the abuser to leave the shared residence.
- Awarding temporary custody of shared children to the victim.
- Restricting firearm ownership by the alleged perpetrator.
- Mandating counseling or intervention programs for the abuser.
An injunction's terms are tailored to promote safety, prevent future harm, and address the victim's situation. Violating an injunction is a criminal offense and can carry serious consequences.
