WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES? Once the Petitioner (person requesting Restraining Order) files a Restraining Order and it is properly served on the abuser, the abuse or harassment WILL STOP! The abuser's first reaction is to respond with outrage and even violence. From the victim's point of view he/she will be relieved and will no longer feel alone or helpless. The victim will no longer be an easy target to be abused and beaten. The victim now has new and powerful friends -- the Court. The abuser will think twice about violating the Restraining Order because there are now consequences for violating the court order - JAIL.
RESTRAINING ORDER VIOLATIONS. If, after the hearing, the Restraining Order is violated, the abuser can be found to be in contempt of a court order and this violation may be treated as a criminal matter that could result in serious consequences, including jail time.
