1. What good is an Injunction?

An Injunction will help you establish:

• Custody of children
• Financial support
• Possession of property
• Residency

An Injunction can keep the abuser from:

• Abuse
• Any contact with you or the children
• Being around you
• Being around your work, home or school
• Destroying property
• Keep abuser from interfering with custody of the children
• Telephone calls
• Threats or harassment

2. What if the No-Contact Order / Injunction is broken?

• You should call the police immediately.
• Show the police your protection order and explain what has happened.

The Police can arrest the abuser or the police can file for an arrest warrant if the abuser is no longer at the scene. 

Journal

Keep a journal of all violations:

• Dates
• Times
• Witnesses
• Writing down all violations

Most importantly remember, you do not have to be abused again to put the abuser back in jail. Always keep a copy of the No Contact Order/Injunction available.
