Who can get a Repeat Violence injunction?

If you are in at least one of the following two categories of people, you can get an Order to Protection Against Repeat Violence.

The fist category is those who have been the victim of repeat violence.

This requirement is different than for a domestic violence injunction. For domestic violence, you can get that injunction if you are only in fear of becoming the victim of domestic violence. For a repeat violence injunction, you already have to be a victim of the violence.

The second category are those people that are the parent or legal guardian of any minor child that they live with and are seeking the order on their behalf.

In order for a parent or legal guardian to file on behalf of a minor child against someone who IS NOT the minor child’s parent, stepparent, or legal guardian, the minor child must be living with the person filing for the injunction and the person filing for the injunction must have reasonable cause to believe that the child is the victim of repeat violence.

In order for a parent or legal guardian to file on behalf of a minor child against the minor child’s parent, stepparent, or legal guardian, the minor child must be living with the person filing for the injunction and the person filing for the injunction must have been an eyewitness to, or have direct physical evidence or affidavits from eyewitnesses of, the specific facts and circumstances of the violence.
