Domestic Violence Introduction
Personal Protection Orders
|
| [ Publication date Jan 01, 2001 ] |
|
A protection order requires the violent spouse to stop using or threaten to use violence against the applicant. Under this Order, the violent spouse is also prevented from getting a third party to harass or use violence against the applicant. The Court will make this order only if it is convinced that: - there is in fact violence or a threat to use violence by one spouse against the other or against the children; and
- it is necessary for the spouse or the children's protection.
Q: My ex-husband keeps calling me in the middle of the night and threatens to chop off my legs. Can I apply for protection even though we are divorced?Yes, you can. |
