What is the victim protection order under the Domestic Violence Punishment Act?

It is confirmed that you have inquired about the victim protection order under the Domestic Violence Punishment Act.

The victim protection order prohibits the perpetrator from approaching or contacting the victim and their family when there is concern that the victim and their family may be retaliated against by the perpetrator.

For this, the victim or their legal representative must petition the court.

After judging the matter, the court can issue one of the following victim protection orders:

1. Eviction or other separation from the residence or occupied room of the victim or family member
2. Prohibition from approaching within 100 meters of the victim or family member or their residence or workplace
3. Prohibition from approaching the victim or family member using telecommunications
4. Restriction on the exercise of parental rights of the perpetrator who is the parental authority holder over the victim
5. Restriction on the exercise of visitation rights of the perpetrator over the victim

Such victim protection orders under the Domestic Violence Punishment Act may be decided in duplicate and may continue for up to 1 year.

If extension of the period is necessary, you can petition the court to extend it in 2-month units up to a maximum of 3 years.

Currently, you appear to be suffering from domestic violence.

If the harm is serious or personal protection is needed, requesting help from a private security company or a law firm that provides security services is also a good method.
