Restraining Orders
Did you know? Restraining Orders can only be made by a Judge
Obtaining a restraining order requires evidence to substantiate the party’s fears for their safety or that of their child
What Is A Restraining Order ?
If a party fears for their safety or that of that child, because of their ex-partner, they can apply to the family court for a restraining order. This means that the ex-partner, whom the order is made against, will not be able to:
- come within a certain distance of the party and/or their child(ren)
- come within a certain distance of the party’s home and work
- contact or communicate with the party or the children (except through someone else)
If the ex-partner does not follow the restraining order, they may be arrested and criminally charged.
