There are a handful of reasons why a judge could decide to deny a petition for a protective order, including: The petitioner does not have sufficient evidence of abuse or harassment. The petitioner fails to complete their petition accurately and completely. The petitioner fails to attend their protective order hearing.
A petition for a Civil Protection Order (CPO) can be filed with the Domestic Relations Court. You may want to contact your own attorney, Capital University Family Advocacy Clinic ((614) 236-6779, Monday - Thursday, am - pm), or Legal Aid ((614) 224-8374) to see if you qualify for a CIVIL PROTECTION ORDER.
Evidence from the person seeking the order can take different forms: Witness Testimony: Statements from people who witnessed abusive behavior. Photographic Evidence: Photos of injuries caused by violence, with timestamps. Text Messages or Emails: Messages with threatening language or detailing abuse.
No Contact Orders are issued by a judge through criminal cases. For instance, when there is a crime that involves an alleged victim of violence, such as Domestic Battery, Battery, Harassment, and Stalking, then the Judge will likely order that the Defendant have No Contact with the Alleged Victim.
A Temporary Ex-Parte Protective Order is obtained without service to the respondent. It can last for a maximum of 20 days. To obtain a Final Protective Order the respondent must be served and must have the opportunity to appear in court.
Generally an EPO lasts for 14 days until your hearing for a domestic violence order. If law enforcement is unable to serve the abuser prior to the hearing, the judge can postpone the court date and extend your EPO for another 14 days.
An ex parte order will last until the hearing for your civil protection order, which generally takes places within seven to ten days. A civil protection order (CPO) can be issued after a hearing is held where the abuser has the opportunity to appear in court (even if s/he chooses not to appear).
You can file a motion to dismiss with a request for a temporary restraining order to vacate the order of protection. You will need a lawyer to do this. You will also need a lawyer when you return to court, otherwise you will be at a disadvantage.
