What is a protection order and how do I request one?
- If you have been harassed, stalked, threatened or harmed, then you may want to look at filing a petition for a protection order. An order of protection is an order issued by a Missouri court pursuant to the Domestic Violence Act that restrains a person from abusing, stalking, sexually assaulting, or harassing another person. Unlike a restraining order, an order of protection carries criminal penalties for violation. An order of protection is valid in every state and should be upheld by law enforcement in every state. There are two types of orders of protection: an ex parte order of protection and a full order of protection. An ex parte order of protection is issued by the court before the person against whom the order is directed has received notice of the petition or an opportunity to be heard in court. It is a temporary order. A full order of protection is issued after a hearing on the record when the person against whom the order is directed has received notice of the proceedings and has had an opportunity to be heard.
