A person receiving a domestic violence order may be forced to leave their family home, be refused access to their children, along with limitations imposed on movement and association with others. Courts may impose these conditions and execute a Domestic Violence order without a respondent knowing until they have been served, and then may be forced to wait up to 6 months to defend themselves against any accusations made to support the order.
