TEMPORARY PROTECTION ORDER (TPO)

IMMEDIATE ACTION WHEN IT MATTERS MOST

A Temporary Protection Order (TPO) is often issued quickly and without notice, making it a critical moment in any legal dispute. Whether you are seeking protection or have been served with an order, immediate legal guidance is essential.

At The Law Offices of Kohn Law, we help clients respond quickly and effectively to temporary protection orders, ensuring their rights are protected from the very beginning.

WHAT IS A TEMPORARY PROTECTION ORDER?

A Temporary Protection Order (TPO) is a short-term court order issued to provide immediate protection. It is typically granted without the other party present and remains in effect until a full court hearing.

These orders may include:

  • No-contact requirements
  • Restrictions on visiting certain locations
  • Temporary arrangements involving children or shared property

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A TPO IS ISSUED?

After a TPO is granted, a court hearing is scheduled where both parties can present their case. This hearing determines whether the order will be made permanent.

During this period, it is crucial to:

  • Follow all terms of the order strictly
  • Avoid any form of prohibited contact
  • Prepare for the upcoming court hearing

Violating a TPO can lead to additional legal consequences, including criminal charges.

WHY EARLY LEGAL ACTION IS CRITICAL

The time between a temporary order and the court hearing is crucial. An attorney can help:

  • Prepare your defense or supporting case
  • Gather evidence and witness statements
  • Ensure compliance with court requirements
  • Position you for the best possible outcome at the hearing
