At Esteem Law LLC, we provide swift, confidential, and compassionate support to help you secure protection and take the next steps forward.
A Personal Protection Order (PPO) is a Court order under the Women’s Charter that prohibits a family member from committing acts of violence against you. It is designed to protect individuals from:
You can apply for a PPO on behalf of yourself, your child, or another vulnerable family member.
Spouse or ex-spouse
Child or parent
In-laws (if living in the same household)
Sibling or any other relative residing in the same household
Prevents the perpetrator from using violence against the victim
A temporary emergency order issued quickly if immediate danger is present
Prevents the perpetrator from entering the victim’s home or part of it
The Court may direct parties to attend mandatory counselling or mediation. If violence or threats are proven, the PPO will be granted and enforced by law. Breaching a PPO is a criminal offence.
Taking action can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to go through it alone. We are here to help you protect yourself and your loved ones — with dignity, compassion, and legal strength.
