If the police officer agrees that your fears are reasonable, they follow a process that usually leads to your partner being told that they’re facing a criminal process. They may be taken into custody.
Your partner will have to attend court to respond to the peace bond application. If your partner agrees to the peace bond, a judge will order it, and they have to follow the conditions in it. If your partner doesn’t agree to the peace bond, a court date for the application will be set. If your partner has been arrested, they’ll be released on conditions designed to protect you until the hearing date.
The Crown will contact you and guide you through the steps. The Crown isn’t your personal lawyer — they’re employed by the Ministry of Attorney General and act as prosecutors on behalf of society. You don’t have to pay the Crown for their work.
