Get a Protective Order with the Help of an Albuquerque Attorney
A protective order, commonly referred to as a restraining order, is a court intervention that prevents another person from contacting you.
Protective orders are often put in place in cases of domestic violence, be it intimate partner violence, child or spousal abuse, false imprisonment, or sexual harassment. This intervention falls under the category of civil court matters, which means no criminal charges will be brought upon the recipient of a protective order. Protective orders can, therefore, offer relief and security to victims of violence without escalating a potentially dangerous situation.
Details and allegations of domestic violence frequently surface during divorce proceedings and child custody cases — most often, a protective order is enacted to safely remove vulnerable parties from an abusive household.
If you are a victim of violence, don’t hesitate to request a protective order during your divorce proceeding or custody case.
