Obtaining an Emergency Stalking No Contact Order
An emergency order of protection is a powerful tool for survivors of domestic abuse. This short-term order can be put in place with your testimony alone if a judge thinks there is good cause for it. You can even get protection if the court is closed for a holiday or during the evening.
