Reglas sobre órdenes de protección en casos de violencia familiar

Explicación Simple

Si alguien te está haciendo daño, puedes pedirle a un juez que le prohíba acercarse a ti. Pero si ambos estaban peleando, el juez puede no proteger a ninguno.

Es como cuando en un juego de fútbol, el árbitro tiene que decidir quién cometió la falta. Si ambos jugadores se empujan, el árbitro puede decidir que no hay falta y seguir con el juego.

Ejemplo Práctico

María y Juan tienen una discusión fuerte. Juan presenta una queja diciendo que María lo agredió. El juez, al ver que ambos se estaban atacando, decide que no puede darle una orden de protección a María porque ambos actuaron de forma agresiva.
