Prevention of Domestic Violence Act New Jersey
The Prevention of Domestic Violence Act (PDVA) in New Jersey is a comprehensive legal framework designed to protect victims of domestic abuse and prevent further harm. Enacted in 1991, the PDVA provides victims with avenues for obtaining restraining orders, legal assistance, and support services. It defines domestic violence broadly to include various forms of abuse, such as physical, emotional, sexual, and financial. The PDVA empowers law enforcement, courts, and social service agencies to intervene effectively in domestic violence cases, ensuring swift action to safeguard victims and hold perpetrators accountable. Compliance with the PDVA is crucial in combating domestic violence and promoting safety and justice for all.
