Orders of Protection in Long Island, NY

If someone is harming you or threatening to harm you, you have the right to protect yourself. When a person violates the Criminal Penal Code or the Family Court Act, an order of protection can be issued against them. Also known as a restraining order, an order of protection is an order from a judge to protect a person from a wide range of violations, including assault, abuse, intimidation, harassment, endangering the welfare of a child, and criminal mischief. And not every situation involves domestic violence.

Orders of protection cannot be issued for everyone. For example, a family court order of protection is usually issued for parents, family members, household members, and people in romantic relationships. You can file for an order of protection through family court or during the divorce process in the Supreme Court.
