Legal Options
Criminal Charges. If you or other loved ones have been physically injured, threatened, raped, harassed or stalked, you can report theses crimes to the police. Criminal charges may lead to your abuser being arrested and possible imprisoned.
Restraining / Protective order. Even if you dont want to press criminal charges, you can file for a civil court order that directs your partner to stay away from you. In many states, restraining / protective orders can also evict your partner from your home, grant support or child custody, or ban him/ her from having weapons.
