How can the victim keep the abuser away from her/him?
Turning Point can explain the difference between the various types of protection orders. A Temporary Protection Order is issued after criminal charges have been filed by the state. A Civil Protection Order is obtained through Common Pleas Courts by the victims petitioning the court. Turning Point advocates accompany the victims through the entire legal process and provide support to them.
