Domestic Violence & Restraining Orders

Domestic Violence Helping Obtain Protective & Restraining Orders

When it Comes to Domestic Violence, Legal Help is Crucial

Divorce can be a complex process for numerous reasons. However, when domestic violence is the root cause of the separation, it’s paramount to seek legal aid at the earliest opportunity. Domestic violence incidents are rarely isolated events, often forming a pattern of physical and psychological abuse.

If you have been a victim of domestic violence or abuse in Rhode Island, you may qualify for a restraining or protective order. These documents can be given by either a district court or a family court and protect victims by levying potentially serious criminal charges against an abuser who violates the order.

Who is Eligible to Receive a Protective Order?

In instances of domestic violence, you could be eligible to receive a protective order. Depending on the nature of your case, you could receive one of three types: an emergency order, a temporary order, or a final order. A skilled attorney can help you file for an order, and then work with you through your hearings in order to obtain a final and permanent solution.

You may be eligible to receive a domestic violence protective order if an abuser:

• Has caused you or attempted to cause you physical harm
• Places you in fear of immediate physical harm (including threatening you)
• Has caused you to have sexual relations against your will (under force, threat, or coercion)
• Stalks or is cyberstalking you
• Is tracking your whereabouts
