If you have a PPO against your spouse, you may use that PPO as evidence to prove your grounds for divorce during cerai taklik or cerai fasakh. This happens when your husband refuses to pronounce talak or is absent.
A PPO on behalf of the children against one party could also be used as evidence to restrict access, deny care and control or obtain sole custody.
