Domestic Violence in Maryland

In a domestic violence case, you may need a restraining order or protective order, which are legal orders issued by the court requiring one party to stop harming another. A domestic violence protective order is a civil order that protects you from harm from a family or household member. If you have been abused by a family member but do not qualify for a domestic violence protective order, you may be able to obtain a peace order for your protection.
