The protected persons in repeat violence injunction include which individuals?

• A. The petitioner or the petitioner's immediate family member
• B. The respondent's property manager
• C. A random neighbor
• D. The petitioner's coworkers

Answer: (A)

Repeat violence injunctions are meant to shield the person who files for protection and their close family members from further violence or threats. The protected party is the petitioner and, crucially, the petitioner's immediate family members who are part of the same household or family unit. This focus addresses those most at risk and ensures they have protection without automatically extending protection to unrelated individuals. A property manager, a random neighbor, or coworkers aren’t protected under the standard terms unless they’re specifically named in the order or are part of the petitioner’s household.
