Restraining Orders

An ex parte temporary or final sexual assault protection order can order:

• the abuser not to:
  • place any limits on you or your freedom (liberty);
  • harass, threaten, assault, bother (molest), attack, or otherwise disturb you; and
  • contact you in any way; and
• anything else the judge believes is necessary to protect your safety and welfare.¹

Whether a judge orders any or all of the above depends on the facts of your case.

Unlike a domestic abuse protection order, a sexual assault protection order cannot give you custody of your children.²
