First, protect yourself and your family immediately. Leave your home and call 911 if you are in immediate danger. If you are not in immediate danger, calling a hotline like the National Domestic Violence Hotline can help you plan for your next steps, like finding safe housing and preparing to leave your home if another incident occurs.
Next, you should consider hiring a family lawyer in New York. Working with a lawyer can help you file for a temporary Order of Protection, which will protect you from your abuser. Your lawyer can also help you find other domestic violence resources and support to assist you.

A temporary Order of Protection requires a person to stay away from another person, as well as their school, work, or home. There are two primary types of temporary Order of Protection, known as “limited” or “full” orders of Protection.
In a limited Order of Protection, “normal” or “everyday and reasonable” contact can occur between the two parties. However, harassment, threats, and other harmful actions can result in criminal contempt and criminal charges.
In a full Order of Protection, one person is not allowed to contact the other in any way. No calls, texts, visits, or other contact are allowed. Any violation of this will result in criminal contempt and further criminal charges.
To obtain a temporary Order of Protection, you can file a Family Offense petition directly with the family court in your county. Working with an attorney helps simplify this process.
There is no difference between a temporary restraining order (TRO) and a temporary order of protection. These terms are used synonymously in New York, and refer to legal orders that either limit or completely disallow contact between two parties.
“We are focused on what matters to you, your family, and your future.”
