Protective orders are often valid for a few days until the contested hearing is held. To further restrict the offender from harming you, a permanent restraining order can be pursued once the hearing takes place. Restraining orders are civil orders that can keep the abuser away from you and prevent further harassment. ![kid covering ears from parents fighting](https://www.divorcefirmlongisland.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/kid-covering-ears-from-parents.jpg?width=921&height=484&name=kid-covering-ears-from-parents.jpg) ### Take Legal Action to Protect You & Your Loved Ones If you are a victim of domestic violence, the court can require the offender to leave the home you share and obtain professional domestic violence counseling.
