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.

"It was nice to be treated fairly and have a well-educated individual assisting me."
She was upfront with me about the cost associated with the work and I greatly appreciated her transparency with everything.- S.S. -
"Katelynn was an absolute life-saver"
Katelynn was an absolute life-saver during an extremely tough period of my life. She was patient and kind, and made sure I understood what was going on throughout the entire process. I would absolutely recommend to any friend needing legal representation.- Christopher V. -
"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. -
"Katelynn made the divorce process as easy as possible."
She was very attentive, assertive, and very professional and very knowledgeable.- Theresa L. -
"She had all the right answers"
She helped me with a name change and it was an unusual situation. She had all the right answers, was quick to respond, great price for the work She did, and most of all she made it such an easy thing for our family. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer and look forward to working with her in the future with other needs. Thank you thank you thank you for all your help!- Mackenzee R. -
"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!- Zach B.
