An Order of Protection limits or prevents contact when one person claims to feel threatened by another and when the court feels protection is warranted. As part of a domestic violence incident and investigation, an Order of Protection may be ordered by the criminal court to keep the parties separate while the case is ongoing. When an individual feels harassed or intimidated by a partner, a former partner, or even a short-term intimate relationship partner, they may also be able to seek an order of protection through the family court system to keep that person away from them. In either case, having an Order of Protection against you can have a significant impact on your life, both personally and professionally. If an Order of Protection has been brought against you, you may choose to fight it.
