Restraining Orders (Injunctions / Protection Orders)
Restraining Orders protect individuals from harassment, threats or interference by spouse or in-laws. These orders help ensure safety and peace during matrimonial disputes. During a matrimonial dispute, sometimes the behaviour of a spouse or in-laws becomes aggressive, threatening or mentally disturbing. There may be continuous calls, messages, visits to workplace, interference in daily life, attempts to take away children, or pressure through relatives. In some cases, the situation becomes unsafe or unbearable.
