Can I Get A Restraining Order For My Child?

Yes. In some cases, you can get a restraining order on behalf of your child. A restraining order is a serious matter that will ensure that the person who the restraining order is against will not be allowed to go anywhere near your child or can contact them in any way. In order to file a restraining order on behalf of a child, there must have been abuse, threats of abuse, or made the child fear abuse. Furthermore, the person in question must have a first or second degree relationship with the child. First degree relationships include parents, children, and siblings. Second degree relationships include step-family, aunts, uncles, grandparents, half-siblings, and others.

It can be hard to get a restraining order filed against someone. If you believe your child needs to be protected from contact with an individual, please leave your information below and we can schedule a free consultation.
