(a) An order restraining your attacker from abusing you;
(b) an order directing your attacker to leave your household;
(c) an order preventing your attacker from entering your residence, school, business or place of employment;
(d) an order awarding you or the other parent custody of or parenting time with a minor child or children;
(e) an order restraining your attacker from molesting or interfering with minor children in your custody;
(f) an order awarding you other relief the court considers necessary to provide for your or your children’s safety, including emergency monetary assistance. Such orders are enforceable in every state.
You may also request an order awarding support for minor children in your care or for your support if the other party has a legal obligation to support you or your children.
You also have the right to sue for losses suffered as a result of the abuse, including medical and moving expenses, loss of earnings or support, and other out-of-pocket expenses for injuries sustained and damage to your property. This can be done without an attorney in the small claims department of a court if the total amount claimed is under $10,000.
Similar relief may also be available in tribal courts.
