Indiana Uniform Protective Order (UP) is a court order issued by Indiana courts to protect a person from being a victim of domestic violence, stalking, or a sex offense. The order provides protection from physical or emotional harm, threats, harassment, and intimidation. It also prevents the abuser from having contact with the victim and any other people or places the victim may frequent. Upon can be issued on a temporary or permanent basis, and can be modified if needed. There are three types of Upon: Emergency Protective Order (EPO), Interim Protective Order (IPO), and Final Protective Order (FPO). EPOS are issued when the court is closed and can last for up to seven days. IPOs are issued when the court is open and can last for up to sixty days. FPO's are issued after a hearing and can last up to two years. All Upon are enforceable statewide and can be extended or modified by the court.
