Laws current as of July 30, 2024 Can the abuser get a domestic abuse protection order against me?
It is a common tactic for an abuser to try to control their victim by asking for a protection order against the victim. The abuser can only get their own protection order in your case if both of the following things happen:
- the abuser files their own cross- or counter-petition against you; and
- the judge believes that you committed domestic or family abuse against the abuser that makes the abuser qualify for their own order.1
