Also known as a restraining order, an order of protection is an order from a judge to protect a person from a wide range of violations, including assault, abuse, intimidation, harassment, endangering the welfare of a child, and criminal mischief. And not every situation involves domestic violence.

Orders of protection cannot be issued for everyone. For example, a family court order of protection is usually issued for parents, family members, household members, and people in romantic relationships. You can file for an order of protection through family court or during the divorce process in the Supreme Court.
