New Jersey District Court Protective Order

Arabellamary01 Jul, 2023Legal

To protect victims of stalking, domestic violence, or harassment, New Jersey district courts provide protective orders. These court orders prevent the alleged offender from approaching or making contact with the victim, offering legal protection. To decide whether such an order is necessary, the court carefully evaluates the facts and the evidence that are submitted. A protective order can be issued to ensure the victim's protection and can contain clauses like no-contact restrictions, residence exclusion clauses, and temporary custody agreements. While pursuing justice and redress through the legal system, these approaches strive to empower victims and stop more harm.
