Order the Respondent to stay away from the Petitioner and the Petitioners home, job, vehicle or school, and not to contact or harass the Petitioner in any way.
What can a Protective Order do?
The police can arrest the Respondent for not obeying the Protective Order. Then the judge can order the Respondent to pay a fine or go to jail or both.
A Protective Order is not a substitute for divorce. Permanent child custody, parent time and support and permanent division of property require a divorce decree.
- Order the Respondent not to harm the Petitioner, the Petitioners children or anyone who lives with the Petitioner.
- Order the Respondent not to have any guns or other weapons.
- Order temporary possession of the home, car and essential personal property.
- Order temporary custody, parent-time and support for the children.
- Order temporary spousal support if the Petitioner and Respondent are married.
- Order the children not to be removed from Utah.
- Allow the Petitioner to carry a concealed firearm without a permit and carry a firearm on a vehicle, on a public street or in a posted prohibited area for 120 days after the protective order is issued.
