peace with their experience and to live
free in the here and now.

REMEMBER:
The assault is not your fault.
You did not cause it to happen.

Text Box: Protection Orders

A Temporary Protection Order is granted when a victim alleges an immediate and present danger of abuse based on a recent incident or threat. The court may grant this type of order exparte (without a hearing) and it provides immediate relief until a full hearing can be held.

 

If the Court determines at a full hearing that the abuse is actual or imminent, it issues a Domestic Violence Protection Order. This Order provides the same relief as the Temporary Order
