Domestic Violence Protection Order
You should seek a Domestic Violence Protection Order if you have any of the following happening to you by a significant other/family member/spouse/domestic partner/someone you had a child with: (1) hitting, assault (can be sexual), physical harm to you in any way, (2) if you are in fear of immediate physical harm, or (3) if they are stalking you. If you are a victim of domestic violence, you can ask the court for a same-day Domestic Violence Protection Order that restrains the other party from coming around you or contacting you, and it carries police protection. This order can protect you from the other party by keeping them from your home/work/school, ordering them to turn in any weapons, and ordering them not to threaten or stalk you. Our family law attorneys can jump into action and help you with this.
Immediate Restraining Order
This is only available as part of a divorce process.
An Immediate Restraining Order can be requested as part of a pending divorce case with little or no notice to the other party. It is a same-day court order for an urgent issue that can restrain the other party from you and/or your children, protect finances, and use of property. Immediate Restraining Orders are often requested in between filing your divorce and a hearing to establish temporary court orders in your divorce matter. Our divorce attorneys in Vancouver, Washington can help you with your Immediate Restraining Order needs.
