The Oregon Petition for Restraining Order to Prevent Abuse (also known as an ORP) is a legal document used to protect individuals from physical, emotional, or financial abuse. It is issued by a court and can be used to prevent an abuser from coming near the petitioner. The ORP can also order an abuser to vacate the home, stay away from the petitioner’s place of work, and/or stop all forms of communication. There are two types of Oregon Petition for Restraining Order to Prevent Abuse: Temporary Protective Order (TPO) and Final Restraining Order (For). The TPO is issued when there is an immediate threat of harm and is in effect for up to 180 days. The For is issued when there is a documented history of abuse and is in effect for a maximum of three years.
