Request Or Contest A Domestic Violence Restraining Order

Domestic violence restraining orders (DVRO) are a powerful tool.

With dual perspectives on these cases, our lawyers are well-positioned to help you in your family law case. We will fiercely advocate for the best interests of you and your family.

Restraining Orders Must Balance Safety And Freedom

Depending on the terms, a restraining orders may impose a variety of limitations, such as:

  • Where the subject of the order can live
  • The degree of contact between the two parties
  • Whether the subject can carry or possess a firearm

The subject of a DVRO will generally face a reduction of freedom based on the notion that the subject may use those freedoms to harass or abuse the requestor. However, these orders require compelling arguments to gain court approval, and the subject can contest an order.
