Marital Practice
However, as in criminal cases, the court does not presume the allegations to be truthful until either admitted by the accused party or after a full hearing on the petition. Until that time, no permanent order of protection can/will be issued. A temporary or permanent order of protection can either be a "no harass/refrain from" or a "stay away". In the case of a no harass/refrain from, the court is less concerned about violence and directs the accused party not to harass or interfere with the petitioning party. In the case of a stay away, the court has concerns that the accused party serves as a threat to the safety and/or well-being of the petitioning party and directs that the accused party stay away from the petitioning party. Because issues related to employment and even visitation may be affected by orders of protection, it is imperative that these issues be discussed with an attorney experienced to represent clients in these very specified petitions in the Family Court.
