You Do Not Have To Live in Fear
Domestic violence is a crime, and it does not just affect women; women, men and children can all be the victims of domestic violence.
It is important to get out of a violent relationship before it gets worse. The court may issue a personal protection order requiring the violent spouse to leave the residence and to remain a set physical distance from the victim and children.
You can get an ex parte or temporary protection order in a matter of hours. A social service organization called TESSA (Trust, Education, Safety, Support, and Action) can help you get a temporary protection order, giving you the important legal protections necessary to help you escape a difficult domestic situation.
In Colorado Springs, call the TESSA crisis line at 719-633-3819 or 719-633-1462 for information about protection orders.
The protected party is generally given temporary care and control of the children for a period of up to 120 days. Following the issuance of this order, the court will schedule a hearing for a permanent order of protection at a later date.
How We Can Help
Within two weeks of the issuance of the temporary protection order, a hearing will be held on the issuance of a final protection order. At this hearing, the subject of the order will have the opportunity to contest the imposition of the order.
Royal A. Martin, P.C. can represent you at the hearing for the final order to present evidence in your favor. We can also counter the arguments of the attorney representing the subject of the order. When children are involved, we can also act to obtain a modification in your child custody order or restrictions to your former spouse's parenting time visitation privileges.
