A restraining order or protective order is an order used by a court to protect a person in a situation often involving alleged domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, assault, harassment, stalking, or sexual assault. Restraining and personal protection order laws vary from one jurisdiction to another, but all establish who can file for an order, what protection or relief a person can get from such an order, and how the order will be enforced.
