Violations of Civil Protection Orders
Civil protection orders can be taken out against people who reside in the same household, those who are in a dating relationship, acquaintances and others who pose a credible threat. In addition to actual violence, a civil protection order can be issued in cases involving stalking or harassment.
Terms of the Order
A civil protection order requires the person named to move out of any shared residence and to have no contact with the alleged victim. This includes telephone calls, mail, e-mail and texting. Those named in a civil protection order may not possess any type of firearm.
The attorneys of Reminger Criminal Defense defend people who have violated the terms of a protective order, order of protection or civil protection order in Kentucky, Indiana or Ohio. We are often able to achieve positive results for our clients by showing the other side of the story.
We understand that some allegations of domestic violence are just that — unfounded allegations designed to get the other party removed from the home and to gain an advantage in divorce matters.
Misuse of a Protection Order
Consider this scenario: A woman falsely accuses an ex-boyfriend of domestic violence and obtains a restraining order against him. Then she calls to apologize and suggests they meet to talk about reconciliation. If the man agrees to her request, she calls authorities, complaining that he violated the terms of the civil protection order.
Our attorneys understand that not every violation of a protection order is alike. We study the facts, advise you of your options and take assertive action to protect your interests.
