Violated An Order For Protection?

A Minnesota Order for Protection is a type of restraining order usually issued during domestic abuse and other assault cases. The Order for Protection will ensure that the accused defendant stays within a certain number of feet away from the alleged victim. However, in many instances an Order for Protection is filed during a heated argument or misunderstanding. Order for Protection cases can be confusing to say the least and may negatively impact your ability to live a normal life with your family.

Restraining Order Procedure

An Order for Protection restraining order can be short in duration or can last up to 2 years. Once a restraining order is filed by an alleged victim, the order prohibits any contact with the alleged victim by the alleged offender.

Order for Protection Cases

All Order for Protection cases will be assessed individuality and, if children are involved, their needs and safety will always be put first. However, there are several instances where an Order for Protection is issued without just cause for reasons of spite, resentment, anger, jealously or revenge. If this is the case, then you have the legal right to fight against the Order for Protection.

Order for Protection and Child Custody

Order for Protection can negatively impact your child custody and parenting time concerns. After all, if you are issued with a restraining order from the child’s mother, then it can be next to impossible to meet with the child. Furthermore, Order for Protection cases can also impact alimony and child support payments and other divorce or domestic dispute cases.  In addition to this, if you are currently living with the person who filed the Order for Protection, you may not only face difficulties seeing your children, but you also may find yourself without access to your home.
