If I obtain a protection order against someone I am living with, who has to leave the home?
December 17, 2023
If you are seeking a protection order after becoming the victim of domestic violence committed by someone who lives in your home, such as a partner or spouse, you can request that the court includes a provision that your abuser is required to vacate the house. Courts can order this even if your home is leased or titled solely in your abuser’s name. However, you may also want to consider whether it is safe for you to remain in the home, or whether you may be better protected by moving out of the house so that your abuser does not know where you are.
