Orders of Protection in New York
There is never an excuse for a parent to physically or emotionally abuse a child. While these acts are often written off as a flared up temper or a personality issue, the truth is abusive parents cause immediate long-term damage to a child’s health, development, and well-being each time they hurt them. If you are a parent looking to protect your child, your first priority needs to be getting them away from an abusive parent. Musa-Obregon Law PC can help. With over a century of combined legal experience, we help clients make the tough choices that lead to better family outcomes.

Acting Now Is Crucial
With abusive people, you cannot reliably predict when their emotions will be under control. Not only does this present an immediate threat, but the fear of a threat can cause emotional damage to children. Protective orders allow you and your child or children to live without the looming threat of an outburst. There is hope. You have options. Our firm at Musa-Obregon Law PC wants to help. We can go over your legal options and help you make the right choice for the safety of you and your family.
An order of protection can keep an abusive person at a safe distance by requiring them to:
- Stay away from places where they know you and your child or children will be
- Move out of the family home
- Not be able to have a gun in their possession
- Pay child support
- Adhere to custody orders
Consequences of Violating an Order of Protection
If the person under the order of protection violates the rules, they could be arrested and have their family rights revoked altogether. There does not need to be a threat in order for you to file a violation.
Once an order of protection is in place, you can file a violation for:
- Family court – By not filing a criminal charge, the other spouse is left only to face the consequences of their family rights
- Criminal court – When you file criminal charges, the other person could be subjected to civil penalties
