Experienced Family Lawyers in Brampton.
At Polaris Legal Group, our family lawyers in Brampton provide compassionate and strategic legal support for individuals seeking restraining orders or emergency protection orders in Ontario. We understand how emotionally difficult and urgent these situations can be, and we act quickly to help you secure the protection you need under the law.
Restraining Orders Through Family Court
Under Ontario’s Family Law Act, a spouse or former common-law partner can apply for a restraining order against the other party. These orders are designed to prevent contact, communication, or proximity where there is a legitimate concern for safety, harassment, or emotional distress.
Important points to note:
- A restraining order can only be requested against a current or former spouse or common-law partner (not their friends or family members).
- Most restraining orders are temporary, but they can be extended or made permanent if circumstances warrant.
- The order can include specific terms, such as prohibiting phone calls, text messages, or visits to your home, workplace, or your child’s school.
Our lawyers will guide you through preparing your application, affidavit evidence, and supporting materials to help ensure your request is handled efficiently and effectively.
What Is a Restraining Order in Ontario?
A restraining order is a court order designed to protect an individual from harassment, threats, or harm from a current or former spouse or partner. It restricts the other person from contacting or coming near you (and in some cases, your children).
In Ontario, there are two main ways to obtain a restraining order:
- Through the Family Court – under the Family Law Act
- Through the Criminal Court – as part of a criminal proceeding, often referred to as a peace bond or no-contact order
Each type of order has different legal requirements and procedures.
