About this statute

This provision is the preamble of Law 575 of 2000 and says it partially reforms Law 294 of 1996. A person harmed by family violence may ask for an immediate protective measure from the family commissioner or, if unavailable, the municipal civil judge. The family commissioner, trial judge, or prosecutor may issue protection measures when domestic violence or abuse is found, and the aggressor must comply with the ordered restrictions. If the complaint concerns a crime or contravention, the hearing officer must send the proceedings to the competent authority. El incumplimiento de las medidas de protección puede dar lugar a multa, arresto y otras consecuencias.
