Yes, if you choose, an order of protection can include minor children. A parent accused of domestic violence and named in a protection order cannot retain or share custody, including visitation. Often, though, a court will require parents to create a parenting plan that allows both to maintain contact with the children unless the parent abused the children themselves. A no-contact injunction can include your kids. This means that the abuser cannot contact your children directly or try to contact them through a third party (such as a grandparent).
