What is a Personal Protection Order (PPO)?
A PPO is a court order that protects victims of family violence by prohibiting the abuser from committing further harm. Family violence can include:
- Physical abuse or threats
- Emotional or psychological harm
- Harassment or intimidation
If the PPO is breached, the offender can be arrested and charged.
Who Can Apply?
You can apply for a PPO if the abuse is by a family member, such as a spouse, ex-spouse, parent, child, or relative living in the same household. Applications can also be made on behalf of children or vulnerable adults.
Other Types of Protection Orders
- Expedited Order (EO): Temporary protection if there is immediate danger
- Domestic Exclusion Order (DEO): Prevents the abuser from entering your home or certain areas of it
