Understanding Juvenile Peace Orders

Peace orders apply in situations where no qualifying domestic relationship exists. Common scenarios include:

  • Disputes between Neighbors
  • Disputes at School
  • Conflicts Involving Acquaintances
  • Harassment or Threats without a Domestic Relationship

Peace orders may include:

  • No-Contact Restrictions
  • Stay-Away Requirements
  • Other Court-Ordered Conditions

Although juvenile peace orders are civil in nature, violations can result in criminal charges.
