Restraining Orders

An interpersonal protective order is a civil court order that protects you from an abuser if you are a victim of:

• dating violence and abuse; or
• sexual assault or stalking committed by someone who is not a family member or an intimate partner with whom you live(d) or have a child.¹

If you do not fit into these categories, you can check our Protective Orders / Domestic Violence Orders to see if you qualify for that type of order instead.
