Injunction for Protection Against Repeat Violence

What Will an Injunction Do for You?

• It will legally prevent an alleged abuser from committing any further acts of violence to you.
• It will restrain the respondent from any contact to petitioner.
• It will restrain the respondent from going to, in or within 500 feet of petitioners residence, place of employment, place where petitioner attends school, or places petitioner or petitioner's minor child(ren) go often.
• It may require the respondent not possess a firearm or to surrender any firearms to law enforcement.

Miscellaneous Information:

As petitioner, you will be sworn under oath as to the truth of the allegations of abuse entered on your petition, under the penalty of perjury. The court will review your petition, and based on the allegations of abuse determine to grant or deny the Injunction. If the court grants the injunction, there will be a hearing on the extension of that injunction within 15 days from the date of issuance of the Temporary Injunction. The clerk will process the Temporary Injunction to the Sheriff's Department who has jurisdiction over where the respondent may be found, for personal service.
