Restraining Order

Restraining Order

A domestic violence restraining order, sometimes called a “50-B”, is appropriate in a situation of abuse from someone with whom you have a close relationship. This can include a current or former spouse, significant other, roommate, someone with whom you share a child, or a relative through blood, marriage, or adoption. This does not apply to a child or grandchild under the age of 16. The court would require competent evidence of actual harm, an imminent threat, or fear of continued harassment.
