Regardless of social or occupational standing, completing legal paperwork is a regrettable requirement in the modern world.
Frequently, it’s nearly impossible for someone without legal experience to draft these types of documents independently, primarily due to the complex terminology and legal subtleties they entail.
This is where US Legal Forms proves to be beneficial.

An ex-parte order is an order signed by the court solely upon the application of one party without argument from the adverse party. An accelerated hearing is a hearing where the court has waived the 14 day notice requirement required by MN Rules of Practice 303.03.
A Harassment Restraining Order (HRO) is an order signed by a judicial officer (judge or referee) that orders someone to stop harassing you and have no contact, unless allowed in the court order. It is not a criminal proceeding and takes place in civil court.

How do I contest an order for protection? The respondent can contest an OFP by requesting a hearing before the judge who issued a temporary or ex-parte OFP. At the hearing, both parties can present evidence, including witness testimony, in order to establish whether an OFP is necessary.
To get a temporary restraining order, the Petition must also describe an immediate and present danger of harassment. Because the purpose of the HRO is to protect a person from future harassment, the Petition must include how the petitioner believes that the harassment will continue.
There is no cost to apply for an OFP and no cost to the petitioner for serving the respondent. There is also no cost for the respondent to request a hearing. There is, however, a filing fee to start a harassment case. The fee may be waived under the law depending on what the victim alleges.
As you can see, not only does the statute require a judge to dispose of and file all decisions within 90 days of the date the issue is submitted, but the statute actually states that the judge's salary shall be withheld if he or she has any outstanding orders that have gone beyond the 90 days limit.
