Modifying Protective Order Considerations

Summary

In Connecticut, a victim can request to modify a protective order, which doesnt necessarily make them look less like a victim. However, modifying a protective order can potentially expose the victim to further harm. A Residential Protective Order prohibits the offender from entering the residence, while a Partial Protective Order allows limited contact but prohibits further violence. Victims can consult with a legal professional for personalized advice. Statewide Legal Services in Connecticut provides free legal help to low-income individuals. Connecticut Legal Services is another resource that provides free legal help and can be contacted online.
