Minneapolis Order for Protection Lawyer
Orders for Protection (OFP), also known as restraining orders, are typically issued to prevent further abuse, stalking, or domestic violence. Orders for Protection require the alleged offender to stay a designated number of feet away from the person filing the order.
Our firm understands that complaints are not always brought for the right reasons. We understand that an Order for Protection can arise from a heated dispute between spouses or domestic partners and can stem from anger, resentment or revenge.
In Minnesota, a restraining order can be short in duration or can last up to 2 years. Once a restraining order is filed by an alleged victim, the order prohibits any contact with the alleged victim by the alleged offender. Orders for Protection can be extremely difficult in divorce or family cases - spouses are separated and children can be deeply affected by this division. An Order for Protection can also be difficult for the alleged offender because it keeps him or her out of the home and away from family.
