An order of protection can order someone not to injure, threaten or harass you, your family, or any other people listed in the order. For example, it can order someone to: have no contact with you, your family, household members, or your children, regardless of their age (see: Melanie's Law) move out of your home.
While there might not be any criminal consequences for victims who violate no-contact orders, there can be civil ones. In such cases, the defendant could file a motion to enforce with the court and have the civil aspects of the no-contact order upheld against the victim.
Restraining orders are more general and can apply to a variety of behaviors. Protective orders are more tailored to violent behavior and are designed to prevent violence against victims. In either case, your freedoms will be restricted and you should challenge these orders with the help of an attorney.
Procedure to Obtain a No Contact Order in Utah: The person seeking protection must file a petition in court. A judge reviews the petition and may grant a temporary order. A hearing is scheduled where both parties can present their cases. If necessary, a long-term order is granted.
Individuals seek no contact orders by going to their local court in their jurisdiction or the jurisdiction of the defendant. They will need to complete a form that identifies the reason why the no contact order should be issued and the places the person wants protected.
Step 1: Go to the district court to begin the filing process. Step 2: Fill out the petition. Step 3: A judge reviews your petition and may grant you a temporary restraining order. Step 4: Service of process. Step 5: The TRO/injunction hearing.
The injunction is something ordered by the judge that can either be permanent or for a specific period of time. The restraining order usually only happens at the beginning of the case, once the person is served with a temporary restraining order and that will only last until the injunction hearing.
The civil stalking injunction will be in effect for three years from the date of service of the temporary injunction.
