No-Contact Orders in BC

In the realm of family law in British Columbia, a restraining order is essential for protecting individuals from harm, particularly instances of domestic violence and abuse, such as gaslighting.

​

A restraining order, also referred to as a no-contact order, prohibits the respondent from contacting the protected individual to prevent further aggression or gaslighting, thereby ensuring safety.

​

To secure a no-contact order in British Columbia, parties must adhere to family law and domestic violence procedures by lodging an application with the relevant court.

​

Evidence substantiating the application, such as police records or eyewitness testimonies, holds significant weight in restraining order cases involving domestic violence or gaslighting.

​

A judge will scrutinize the evidence and might conduct a hearing to evaluate the situation, particularly in instances of domestic violence. A compelling presentation is pivotal.

​

If the necessity for a no-contact order is established, the judge will stipulate its terms, which may include duration, prohibited contact, and separation distance.
