FAQs

  1. What is a 209A restraining order?
    It’s a court order that protects you from abuse by a family or household member. We help you request one quickly and safely.

    Can I get custody if I leave an abusive partner?
    Yes. Courts consider abuse when determining custody and often restrict the abuser’s access to children.

    Will my abuser be notified if I file a restraining order?
    Yes, the court will notify them. We prepare you for that process and help ensure your safety.
