Understanding Protective Orders

Protective orders, also known as restraining orders, are legal decrees issued by a court to protect individuals from harassment, abuse, stalking, or threats by another person. These orders are crucial in situations where immediate legal intervention is necessary to safeguard the physical safety and well-being of an individual or family.

Types of Protective Orders

Emergency Protective Orders (EPO): Immediate short-term protection typically issued by law enforcement. 

Temporary Protective Orders (TPO): Short-term protection granted after a formal petition to the court, often preceding a full court hearing. 

Permanent Protective Orders: Long-term protection granted after a court hearing, where both parties have the opportunity to present their case.

Scope of Protective Orders

• Protective orders can encompass various provisions, including: 
• Prohibiting contact or communication with the protected individual. 
• Mandating a safe distance to be maintained from the protected individual or their residence. 
• Restricting the possession of firearms. Addressing temporary custody or visitation rights in situations involving children.
