Military Protective Orders
A family living on a military base may be operating under different circumstances than other American families. In cases when a person in the service has been accused of domestically assaulting a family member, they may be punished through the military for these attacks. A military protective order can help protect the family before those legal proceedings begin. These orders can be requested by the family and officially permitted by an officer.

Benefits of a Military Protective Order
A person under the restrictions of a military protective order may be asked to change their lifestyle until a formal trial begins. This means that the accused individual may not be allowed around their family as a measure of protecting the family and the integrity of the upcoming trial. If a family can obtain a military protective order, the following may happen:
- The individual will not be allowed near the family home
- The individual may be asked to sleep in the barracks
- The individual may not be allowed to use a firearm
- The individual may be confined in extreme cases
- The individual may not be allowed to engage in other specified actions
In the military, a family does not turn to the civilian courts for these protective orders. Instead, the family should work through the military’s system.
