What a peace bond is

This page is a public educational walkthrough. It is not a retainer, a court form, or a promise about your result. For legal advice, you should contact an appropriate Lawyer or Paralegal specializing in the area of law you need assistance with.

  1. It is a court order about future conduct

    It is not automatically the same thing as a finding of guilt on the original charge.

  2. Conditions can restrict contact or places

    Breaching them is its own problem.

  3. Get advice before you agree

    Accepting or refusing a peace bond has consequences this page will not choose for you. Criminal rules forms are under Court Forms.
