A Protection order is an order made by the court to prohibit the person whom the order was made against to commit any acts of domestic violence against you or your family.

Any person fearing for their own safety or the safety of their children may apply for a protection order at the Magistrate’s Court in the area where they reside. Once a final protection order is granted it will remain in effect until set aside by a competent Court upon Application. Protection orders can also be obtained for various other forms of protection, including to regain assets removed from your possession or even for emergency monetary relief to pay monthly expenses after you were forced to leave the joint residence and left destitute.
