What is a Protective Order?
Protective orders are vital for keeping you and your children safe from domestic violence. They can be issued quickly to stop ongoing abuse or prevent it if there’s an immediate threat.
At Solon Law, we truly understand how critical it is to get protection when you’re in danger. Our Salt Lake City protective orders attorney is here to help you through every step—whether you need guidance on how to get a protective order, support navigating the court system, or representation in hearings.
We also know that protective orders can sometime be misused, with false or exaggerated claims being made, often to gain leverage in divorce or custody battles. If you’re dealing with unfair accusations, we’re here to support you and fight for your rights as well.
Protective Orders For The Safety of You and Your Children
If you’re over 16 and have faced domestic abuse or fear that it might happen from someone you know—like a current or former spouse, a cohabitant, a relative, or even someone you share a child with—you can apply for a protective order.
Even if you haven’t experienced physical harm yet but genuinely fear for your safety, you might be eligible for a temporary protective order. This can become a permanent order within 20 days at a court hearing.
To get started, you’ll need to file an emergency petition with the court. Remember, you can also seek protective orders to keep your children safe. Our team of experienced attorneys is here to help you through this process.
What Can a Protective Order Do?
Protective orders can impose the following directions and restrictions:
- Order the alleged abuser to stop any further abuse or threats of abuse
- Make no contact with you or anyone named in your order, whether directly or indirectly
- Make the alleged abuser vacate a shared home
- Order the abuser to stay away from your home, workplace, school, vehicle, or places you frequently visit
- Order the abuser to stay away from family or household members as well
- Prohibit the abuser from possessing a firearm
- Grant you temporary custody of shared children with or without visitation rights for the abuser, depending on the circumstances
- Order the abuser to pay child support and/or spousal support
- Order anything else the court considers necessary for your safety and protection
