While everyone going through a divorce would prefer an amicable parting of ways, this is not always the case. Often times emotions can get the best of one party or another and, on occasion, these emotions can lead to behavior that may create feelings of fear, either for one’s self or one’s children. In cases such as these, the endangered party can seek legal help in the form of a temporary restraining order or protective order, also referred to as judicial ex parte orders.

A protective order is designed to protect an individual and/or their children from a potentially violent or abusive party. By obtaining a protective order, the courts will take several measures to ensure the safety of the petitioner such as requiring the opposing party to vacate the shared residence until matters have been resolved. While the order is in place, the party specified is also not allowed any form of contact in person or via phone with the victim and must also remain a specified distance at all times from the individual and/or their children including their workplace, home, and school. The distance is usually set to a minimum of 100 yards. The abuser may also be required to attend some form of anger management or other psychological counseling if he/she is deemed a continued threat. Violation of a protective order can result in immediate arrest, potential fines, and, in some cases, jail time.
