A restraining order, also known as a protective order, is a court order that prohibits a person from contacting, approaching, or harassing another person. Restraining orders are typically issued in cases of domestic violence, stalking, or other forms of harassment.
Restraining orders can be an important tool for protecting victims of abuse or harassment. They can help to prevent further harm and give victims peace of mind. In some cases, restraining orders can also be used to protect children or other vulnerable individuals.
