Domestic Relationship PPO, including sexual assault Attorney Gaylord MI

A domestic relationship personal protection order or PPO is a court order which is used to prevent threats or violence against you by a person who you are or have been in a relationship with. Relationships which fall under this type of PPO include:

Current spouses
Ex-spouses
Childs parent
Someone you have lived with
Someone who you have dated or are dating either short or long term

Filing a domestic relationship PPO may stop someone with whom you have had a relationship with from entering your home, coming near you, assaulting or attacking you, threatening you, removing your children from your custody if you have custody as well as preventing them from having a gun, stalking you or acting in a way which interferes with your personal freedom or makes you reasonably afraid.

To get a domestic relationship PPO you will need to file a petition with a circuit court in Michigan. By completing the Petition for Personal Protection Order in Michigan, you are asking for a personal protection order which tells the person named therein that there are certain things that you do not want them to do. If you are in immediate danger, you may want to consider an ex parte order which means that you do not have to let the person named in the order know in advance that you are asking for the order. In addition, the ex parte order also means that you do not have to wait for a court hearing to get the order.
