What protections can I get in a sexual abuse protective order?

A sexual abuse protective order can order the abuser to:

  • stop sexually abusing you;
  • stay away from your home, school, and work;
  • pay your attorney’s fees and court costs; and
  • do anything else that the judge believes is necessary depending on your situation.1 

Be sure to include any specific requests in your petition that you may want included in the order.
