Part 6: Protecting yourself
Even if the police do not charge your partner, there are other ways the courts can help you stay safe.
In family court, you can get a restraining order or an exclusive possession order.
In criminal court, you can get a peace bond.
You have to decide which order to apply for based on what is best for your situation.
Think about things like:
- the relationship you have
- how long you want the order to last
- which court you have to use
