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.

"Katelyn made the divorce process as easy as possible"
Katelyn made the divorce process as easy as possible. She was very attentive, assertive and very professional and very knowledgeable. And even when I asked to stop the divorce process she did everything she could to stop it and we were able to just in time! Thank you Katelyn and all those who worked with her!- Theresa L -
"Katelynn took on a difficult and contentious case"
Katelynn took on a difficult and contentious case that other lawyers wouldn't touch with both grace and tenacity. I was seeking full custody of my son in a complicated situation, and Katelynn stood by me and supported me when I needed it, reminding me what I was fighting for and not letting me give up when it was difficult and I was scared.
She fought for me through the entire process, making sure I was not taken advantage of and received the best representation possible. When a crisis arose, she maintained a cool head and kept me calm, guiding me through the process to keep my family safe and make sure my family's long term safety remained the paramount concern at all times.
She advocated for me when I couldn't advocate for myself, and as a result, I have full custody today, but most importantly, my family is safe. I never could have made it through the process without Katelynn and her wisdom and strength. She is truly committed to fighting for her clients and will never give up on you! I could not recommend anyone more highly.- Marisa K. -
