Order of Protection

WE ARE ON YOUR SIDE!

ORDER OF PROTECTION

An Order of Protection (sometimes referred to as a “restraining order”) can be a necessary measure when you are a victim of domestic violence. Orders of protection can depend upon one’s relationship to the assailant and are specially constructed to address your specific situation. Domestic violence can include many different aggressive and manipulative behaviors, including assault, threats, intimidation, crimes against children, illegal restraint, or custodial interference of a child.

Situations and relationships wherein an order of protection may be appropriate include the following:

  • The victim and defendant are married, formerly married, or have cohabitated.
  • The victim and the defendant have a child in common or are expecting a child.
  • The victim is related to the defendant or the defendant’s spouse by blood or court order as a parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother or sister, or marriage as a parent grandparent-in-law, stepparent, step-grandparent, stepchild, step-grandchild, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law.
  • The victim is a child who resides or has resided in the same household as the defendant and is related by blood to a former spouse of the defendant or to a person who resides or has resided in the same household as the defendant.
  • The relationship between the victim and the defendant is currently or was previously a romantic or sexual relationship.

Arizona Attorney for Domestic Violence

If you are found to be eligible and need an Order of Protection, there are two options available. An Emergency Order of Protection helps to protect someone in immediate danger. However, it is only valid for two days, and so it’s advised to seek a more permanent solution concurrently. A Permanent Order of Protection requires a formal hearing in which both parties can present their case.

Are you in danger of domestic violence? The family law attorneys at The Valley Law Group can help.

These limitations can restrict your parental rights and become manipulative tools in divorce proceedings.

Thank you Jon for helping me with my case and making me feel comfortable during the proceedings. I appreciate the guidance you provided and legal recommendations so that I could result in the best possible outcome for my situation. I would have been very lost without your help!

Simply put, Ryan is outstanding! ! I’ve used his services exclusively for the last 6+ years on multiple custody and visitation cases. After having gone through three less than transparent attorneys before Ryan, it was incredibly refreshing when I found him. He’s courteous, responsive and the utmost professional. Best of all, I feel that I can trust his advice explicitly. A true rarity in this industry! Bottom line: I wouldn’t consider even having a conversation with another attorney!

Ryan did a good job especially considering I didn't have an attorney most of my divorce. I would recommend him, but get him onboard at the beginning not the end.
