FAQ
A Harassment Restraining Order or Order for Protection is a civil filing, not a criminal case. Therefore, a HRO or OFP will not show up on someone's criminal record. However, a violation of an OFP or HRO can result in a criminal conviction with either a guilty plea or a guilty verdict after a trial.
Ing to Minnesota Statute §609.2242, subdivision 1, a person is guilty of misdemeanor domestic assault if s/he: Commits an act with intent to cause fear in a family or household member of immediate bodily harm; or. Intentionally inflicts or attempts to inflict bodily harm upon a family or household member.
The order can last for up to two years, but you may petition to have it extended if you need further protection once the order expires.
An Order for Protection (OFP) is an order signed by a judicial officer (judicial officer or referee) that may help protect you from domestic abuse. An OFP orders the abuser not to contact, harm, or threaten to harm you, your children, or other people the judicial officer agrees to list on the OFP.

Emotional Support Acknowledging that their situation is difficult, scary, and brave of them to regain control from. Not judging their decisions and refusing to criticize them or guilt them over a choice they make. Remembering that you cannot “rescue them,” and that decisions about their lives are up to them to make.
If the contact continues, it could possibly be illegal and the victim making the contact could be charged with criminal harassment.
