Civil protection orders, also known as restraining orders or protective orders, are legal orders issued by a court to protect individuals from abuse, harassment, or harm from another person. These orders can be obtained by a victim or a third party on behalf of a victim, and typically prohibit the person who has caused harm from contacting or coming near the victim or their family members. Civil protection orders can also include other provisions, such as prohibiting the person from possessing a firearm or requiring them to attend counseling.
