1. What do I do if an ex-spouse or ex-significant other threatens me?

If you are threatened by anyone, including an ex-spouse or ex-significant other, you need to call the police right away. An officer will respond, and take a report from you about what happened. A decision will be made later about whether that person will be formally charged or not.

2. If I get a Protection From Abuse Order against an ex, what happens if he/she violates that Order?

If the person you are seeking protection from violates the Order, you should call the police immediately and report it. The suspect may be arrested, and could receive a jail sentence for violating the Protection From Abuse Order. You should not, however, invite the person you are seeking protection from over to your house or initiate contact. You are putting your safety in jeopardy, and you are putting that person at risk for being arrested.
