Can I get a protection order if there are no witnesses and no police report?
Yes. Courts can grant a protection order based on the victim's own statement, without corroborating witnesses or a prior police report. The standard for an urgent ex parte order is relatively low — the court does not need proof beyond a reasonable doubt, only sufficient reason to believe the risk is real. Evidence such as messages, photographs of injuries, or medical records strengthens the application.
