Michigan Personal Protection Order (Domestic Relationship) (Ex Parte) is an order issued by a court to protect the safety of a person from abuse, harassment, or threats by an intimate partner or family or household member. It is a type of restraining order that can be issued without the abuser being present and can provide protection from the date it is issued until a full hearing can be held. There are two types of Michigan Personal Protection Order (Domestic Relationship) (Ex Parte). The first is a temporary ex parte order which is issued quickly and without notice to the abuser, but expires after 14 days. The second is an emergency ex parte order which is issued in an emergency situation and is valid for seven days. Both types of orders can include provisions to protect the petitioner from abuse, harassment, or threats from the abuser.
