Understanding Family Court Orders of Protection
Family court orders specifically issued as part of a civil proceeding to stop violence that is occurring within the family or within an intimate relationship.
These types of orders require the relationship to each other to fall into one of the following categories:
- Current or former spouse.
- Someone with whom you have a child in common.
- A family member to whom you are related by blood or marriage.
- Someone with whom you have, or have had, an ‘intimate relationship.’ (An intimate relationship does not necessarily mean a sexual relationship. Family Court will consider several factors such as, but not limited to: “how often you see each other or how long you have known each other.”)
While these types of protection orders are civil matters, family court orders of protection are often issued in connection with criminal cases.
Orders of protection are issued either in full or limited. For a full order, the subject of the order of protection must stay completely away from the person, their home, job and/or school, and must not abuse, harass, or threaten you. For a limited order, the subject may remain in contact with the person but may not abuse, harass, or threaten the person.
Violating an order for protection is a crime and can result in an arrest and a charge of criminal contempt either as a misdemeanor or felony
