Obtaining a Protective Order in Utah
Protective orders and restraining orders may be issued in various situations.
Examples of protective orders include:
- Those issued due to domestic violence or abuse
- Those issued due to dating violence
- Stalking injunctions to prevent stalking of a spouse, ex-spouse, or dating partner
- Child protective orders
Restraining orders are similar to protective orders and are often issued as part of a legal action such as a divorce. However, protective orders can be issued outside of such actions to prevent harassment, domestic violence, or family abuse. Temporary restraining orders can also be issued by courts when imminent harm is threatened; these orders are issued temporarily until the court can hear from the other side to decide if the order should be made permanent.
Protective orders prohibit your abuser from making any type of contact with you and often prohibit him or her from having a gun or weapon. These orders can also give you temporary possession of your home, car, and essential property, temporary child support and custody, and more.
If you are in danger or believe you have been wrongly accused, contact Eric M. Swinyard & Associates, PLLC at (801) 515-4133 for legal representation.
