Common Questions for Our Protection Order Lawyer in Denver

We Address Your Concerns

Our clients can trust that we will always be available to answer their questions. Below are FAQs regarding protection orders in Denver, along with our responses.

How long do protection orders last in Colorado?

It depends on the type of protective order in play. Temporary Protective Orders (TRO) remain in place for two weeks initially and can later be extended, pending a hearing at which our Denver restraining order lawyer can provide representation. Civil protective orders (CPO) occur when victims have concerns about their safety and law enforcement is not investigating the situation from a criminal standpoint. These  may last for up to a year or longer. Mandatory Protective Orders (MPO) occur  when the target of the order is facing criminal charges. These remain in effect until the criminal case concludes. Finally, Permanent Protective Order (PPO) can last indefinitely until the impacted parties agree to change it.

What proof do you need for a restraining order in Colorado?

According to the Colorado Judicial Branch, you will need to describe the facts and circumstances leading you to seek the order.  If the situation is abusive,  you may submit injury  photographs or a list of the medical appointments made for treatment. For  verbal threats, list exactly what was said as proof for the restraining order. A protection order lawyer in Denver can help you complete all forms.

What does an emergency protective order do?

Colorado emergency protective orders place immediate limitations on the behaviors and actions of the target party, according to Colorado statute § 13-14-103. As the person filing for the protection order, you can prevent the other party from being able to contact, harass, intimidate, threaten, touch, stalk, and abuse. Based on some orders, the target of the EPO may not be able to enter the family home. Talk to your Denver restraining order attorney for more details.

What if you need an emergency protective order in Colorado?

An emergency protective order provides victims immediate protection from others. The Colorado Judicial Branch specifies that the victim must be in imminent danger to receive an emergency order. You and your Denver restraining order lawyer may be able to seek the emergency order via telephone if time is of the essence.  Law enforcement officers responding to an incident also can initiate an emergency restraining order process on your behalf. While the emergency order is in place, you and your attorney can begin working toward seeking a more permanent type of protective order.

How do emergency protection orders work?

EPOs function similarly to other protection orders. However, emergency orders can be effected more quickly.  Law enforcement officers (not you) will serve the target of the order with the papers. In cases like this, as long as the target is aware of the existence of the emergency order, he or she must abide by it, even if they have not yet received the hard copy.
