Is a Domestic Violence Injunction a criminal charge?
Criminal Law
No, an injunction is a Court Order to stay away from a person or place. If you have received an Injunction, you are not charged with a crime, and there will not be a criminal record. However, if you violate the injunction, by contacting the person, or going to the place, you may be charged with the crime of violating the Injunction.
