Protective Order

Houston Protective Order Defense

Protective orders are intended to restrain contact between two parties because one of them fears harm. It is commonly used among spouses or domestic partners whenever a separation occurs or there are allegations of domestic violence. Applications for protective orders often contain unfounded allegations that may be brought up later during a divorce or custody suit. Having a protective order issued also limits an individual’s freedom and can sometimes interfere with maintaining relationships.

Those who are accused of violating a protective order can face severe consequences. Some of these include:

• Jail time
• Electronic monitoring
• Loss of visitation privileges
• Fines
