Who Is Eligible to Obtain a Civil Protection Order?

Any person who feels they are in danger of or have experienced violence from someone close to them can file for a civil protection order.

However, this aggressor must be:

  • Someone they are currently or have been previously married to
  • Someone they are related to
  • Someone they have lived with (dating or not)
  • Someone they share a child with
  • Someone they are dating
  • Someone they have had a sexual relationship with

Petitioning for a Civil Protection Order

To petition for a civil protection order, the victim or someone close to the victim must submit a document to the court that details why they are seeking this order. Additionally, the document asks the court to enter an order of protection for a certain period of time.

Once this petition is filed, the court will grant a temporary order for 14 days or until a hearing can be held to deal with the issue.

A copy of the petition is served to the alleged aggressor who has the legal right to go before the judge and speak at the hearing.

The alleged aggressor can choose to fight the order or allow it to be put in place. If they choose to fight the order, the victim is responsible for proving why the order is necessary.

    Going into the divorce process I knew I wanted someone knowledgeable and willing to fight for what was best for me. Katelynn exceeded my expectations. She not only listened with compassion, she answered all my questions with patience. She stood behind me, but made it clear that it was up to me to decide how I wanted to proceed. She was very approachable and followed up clearly. It was a pleasure working with her!

  • "This whole experience with Katelynn was SUPERB!"
    How can I begin?

    This whole experience with Katelynn was SUPERB!

    Katelynn was honest, upfront, and professional in every aspect of the work she did for my divorce case. We had a great relationship and got along great, which is something that I was looking for, a Lawyer that wasn't here for the money but here to work for YOU! The nice thing about Katelynn compared to other lawyers in the area is that she won't take too many cases she can't handle, she doesn't have an Assistant do all the work, she does the a lot of the work herself.

    I was lucky that my divorce was handled in mediation (thank goodness). But I heard and listened to Katelynn in the Court room during Trial and she is a not only professional, but confident, courteous, and POWERFUL. She definitely knows what she is doing when it comes to Family Law in Idaho, she even struck down multiple objections from my Ex because the other Lawyer didn't know what they were doing and weren't informed. She is here to fight for you in what she knows you can get, and won't promise or say what she isn't confident in.

    I was confident with Katelynn, and you should be as well, don't look ANYWHERE else. Thank you so much Katelynn!
