Restraining Orders

If you have a spouse, partner, or boyfriend/girlfriend, whether you are married or not, and that person has physically abused you or has threatened your life or that of your children, you should consider a restraining order. The abuse can be as minor as grabbing your wrist, slapping you across the face or as serious as breaking a bone.

A restraining order will prevent that person from being allowed to talk to you (in person, telephone, text or email), to have any contact with you, and will include a restriction about that person not being allowed within a certain distance (300 or 500 metres) from where you live and work.
