Introduction
If you happen to be a victim of family violence, it’s important to know the legal actions you can take to protect you and your loved ones.
In Singapore, there are different types of protection you can apply for against an abusive family member. The Women’s Charter provides family members the opportunity to apply for a protection order against the abuser–for both themselves and for other family members. In extreme cases and when there are reasonable grounds to do so, the court may make a domestic exclusion order to exclude a family member from the home.
