A Wyoming Order to Show Cause in Stalking Cause is a court order issued by a judge to summon a respondent in a stalking case to appear in court and show cause why a restraining order should not be issued. The order is used in cases where a person has been accused of stalking another person, to protect the victim from further harm. In Wyoming, there are two types of Order to Show Cause in Stalking Cause: an ex parte Order to Show Cause, and a full hearing Order to Show Cause. An ex parte Order to Show Cause is issued without notice to the respondent, while a full hearing Order to Show Cause requires notice to the respondent and a hearing prior to the issuance of the order. The Order to Show Cause will typically contain a temporary restraining order, which will remain in effect until the hearing takes place. At the hearing, the court will consider the evidence presented and determine whether to issue a permanent restraining order.
