What is the legal right of a person granted a court order in cases of abuse?

The legal right of a person granted a court order in cases of abuse is to be protected from their abuser. This means that the court order, often referred to as a restraining order or protective order, is designed specifically to create a legal barrier between the victim and the abuser, ensuring the victim’s safety. The court order prohibits the abuser from contacting the victim in any form, and violations can lead to legal consequences for the abuser. The primary intent of such orders is to provide immediate and ongoing protection for individuals who have experienced domestic violence or abuse, affirming their right to live free from fear and harm.
