Removal orders
The criminal court may issue a removal or exclusion order, removing a child from the care of the perpetrator for any time length the court deems appropriate, in cases where the victims are minors.[2]
In custody procedures, the family court may order the removal of a child from the parent who victimizes the child or from both parents who victimize and/or neglect their children in cases of domestic violence.[3]
Interim order
The criminal court may issue interim orders restraining the suspect or removing a child victim until a criminal case against the accused is filed and tried.[4]
Protection orders
A variety of provisions can be included in a protection order with which the abuser has to comply.[5]
Compensation
There is no provision to afford victims a claim for compensation in the course of criminal proceedings, and thus the victim has to file a civil case, which does not consider the outcome of the criminal case as binding precedent. The right to compensation is provided in the Compensation for Victims of Violent Crimes Law No. 126(I) and the Compensation for Victims of Violent Crimes (Cross border Situation) Regulations 328/2006.[6]
Under certain circumstances, it may be possible to secure compensation from the state if the victim is unable to secure compensation from the abuser.[7]
