What is an Order of Protection?

An order of protection provides you with legal protection against someone who threatens your life and safety. SafeSpace court advocates can help you understand the legal process, assist with safety planning, and provide referrals. While an Order of Protection is a legal document enforceable by law, it does not guarantee your personal safety, so safety planning should always be done when obtaining an Order of Protection.   Click HERE to go to the My Legal Options information page for more information.
