Unfortunately, it is likely that you or someone you know has been a victim of abuse which may or should have resulted in a Protective Order<\/a> or Peace Order. \u00a0 On this week\u2019s #TuesdayTips article the attorneys at ERA Law Group, LLC want to explain the difference between Protective Orders and Peace Orders in order to help victims best protect themselves as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

A Protective Order is ordered by a judge and instructs the abuser to stop committing a specific act or set of acts against others.\u00a0 To be eligible for a protective order you must have fall within one of the following relationship categories: (a) current or former spouse, (b) residing together in an intimate relationship for at least 90 days within the year of filing<\/a>, (c) related by blood, marriage or adoption, (d) have a parent-child or stepparent-stepchild relationship and resided together for at least 90 days within the year of filing, (e) have a caretaker-vulnerable adult relationship, (f) be parents of a child together, and\/or (g) have had a sexual relationship within a year of filing.<\/p>\n

Unlike a Protective Order, a Peace Order is a form of protection for anyone<\/u> who is experiencing some sort of problem with an individual such as a neighbor, stranger, etc.\u00a0 When filing a Peace Order the relationship between the parties is not a factor.<\/p>\n

What a Judge can and cannot order also varies based on the type of Order requested.\u00a0 In both cases, a Judge can order the abuser to stop abusing you and to stay away.\u00a0 In the case of a Peace Order, a Judge can also order counseling, mediation<\/a>, and for the abuser to pay the court costs and filing fees.\u00a0 Because a Protective Order involves more intimate relationships, a Judge can also impose more restrictions and make additional awards.\u00a0 For example, a Protective Order can award temporary custody<\/a> or visitation, emergency family maintenance (or, financial support) to be paid by the abuser, award possession of any pet, award use and possession of a jointly titled car, etc. \u00a0It can also order the abuser to stay out of the marital home, stay away from your child\u2019s school, and to stay away from and not contact family members.<\/p>\n
