November 2019

Based on 2019 additions to the law, in our Rhode Island Domestic Violence Restraining Orders section, we updated the information in Am I eligible? Do I file in family court or district court? regarding children who can be eligible for a restraining order. We also updated What protections can I get in a domestic violence restraining order? to include the fact that the judge can include a provision for the safety of household animals and pets.
