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.

"Highly, highly recommend."
Highly, highly recommend.
Katelynn was beyond amazing.
We just settled my custody case for my son and I am so happy with the outcome. As a first time mom, this was an extremely stressful and emotional process for me and Katelynn brought so much comfort and guidance to my situation. She was very honest with me and kept me level headed when I was being unrealistic or unreasonable at times. She had excellent communication with me and always kept me in the loop. I never had to wait longer than a day to get a response to any email or phone call. She usually got back to me within hours if not right away. She made me feel like my case took priority, knowing how important it was to me. I greatly appreciated her guidance, honesty and efforts in getting me the custody and the terms that I felt comfortable with. I chalk my case up to a huge win for us, all thanks to Katelynn. I am forever grateful.- Dani A.
