Defense for Restraining Orders and Orders of Protection in New York
A restraining order, often called an order of protection in New York, is a court order that is meant to protect victims of domestic violence, abuse and
stalking. A restraining order may prohibit the person named as the abuser from contacting the alleged victim in any way, from coming within a certain distance of the alleged victim or from continuing harassment or abuse. A restraining order may also decide such issues as child custody or child support, depending on the situation.
