Restraining Order Defense Lawyer In Cumming, GA

In Georgia, a restraining order, more commonly known as a temporary protective order or TPO, restricts contact between individuals. TPOs are typically issued by a judge without a full hearing and based only on an accuser’s claims. If a TPO is violated, the individual who has a TPO against him or her could go to jail.

If your spouse or partner accused you of domestic violence, you can be removed from your home and ordered not to have contact with the other party or with any of your shared children. Additionally, you will be required to wait approximately 10 days to present your side of the story.

A number of burdens are placed upon a defendant in TPO legal matters. At Banks, Stubbs & McFarland LLP, we can assist you in requesting or contesting a TPO when it precedes or accompanies a legal separation or divorce, or potentially impacts a post-judgment modification, contempt or child custody action.

Timing is essential in challenging a TPO. Inaction could put you at risk for a permanent protective order. Meanwhile, violating a TPO can result in your arrest for aggravated stalking, which carries no bond so that could release you from jail, unless approved by a Superior Court judge.
