| Description: | A protective order is also called a restraining order, injunction against abuse, peace bond, or criminal order of protection. In Louisiana, protective order laws vary based on many various factors, however, in general, they operate to provide protection to a family member when they have been abused by another family member. If a protective order is granted, then if the abuser violates the order, they will face penalties varying in severity depending on the number of violations or the specific details of the violation. If you were the victim of family violence, you are protected under Louisiana law and you should comprehend your rights. Whether or not you’re married to your abuser, domestic violence is intolerable and must be dealt with under the law. |
