Understanding Domestic Violence and Restraining Orders

Domestic violence includes physical assault, harassment, stalking, and threats between household members or those in intimate relationships. In New Jersey, the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act protects victims through restraining orders. These legal documents prevent an alleged abuser from contacting the protected party and may include provisions about housing, child custody, and financial support.
