Restraining Orders
An ex parte temporary protection order can be issued by a court following a complaint from the victim, stating one believes there is an immediate danger to oneself or one’s child. Once an ex parte order is issued, it protects the victim until a court hearing occurs. An ex parte order becomes enforceable when the abuser has been served with a copy of it.
The final domestic order, also known as a 50B protective order, can be issued for a period of a year and can be renewed for additional periods up to two years. The protective order may include the following:
50B Protective Orders
- Forbid the abuser from carrying out future acts of domestic violence
- Grant possession of the residence to the victim and ban the abuser from entering
- Award temporary custody and establish temporary visitation rights
- Order either party to make child support/spousal support payments
- Order the abuser to refrain from threatening, abusing, or harassing the victim
- Impose any and all other restrictions as deemed by the court
