The most popular emergency order to prevent someone from acting in a specific way is a non-molestation order. It is designed to protect a person who abuses their spouse or child. It is an arrest warrant issued by a civil court. If the non-molestation order is broken, there could be a five-year prison sentence. It acts as a potent deterrent to abuse both now and in the future.
