Restraining Orders

An interpersonal protective order is a civil court order that protects victims of:

• dating violence and abuse; or
• sexual assault or stalking, when it is committed by someone who is not a family member or an intimate partner with whom you live(d) or have a child.¹

If your situation doesn’t fit into these categories, you can look at the information we have on Domestic Violence Orders to see if you qualify for that type of order instead.
