FAQ

1. What is a protection order in Colorado?

A protection order is a legal order issued by a court to prevent one person from contacting, harassing, or coming near another person. It is commonly used in cases involving domestic violence, stalking, harassment, or threats.

In Colorado, there are three main types:

  • Temporary Protection Order (TPO): Issued quickly, often the same day, without the other party present.

  • Permanent Protection Order (PPO): Issued after a court hearing where both parties can present their case.

  • Emergency Protection Order (EPO): Issued by law enforcement outside of court hours and lasts only a few days.

You can file a request at your local courthouse. A judge will review your petition and may grant a temporary protection order if there is an immediate threat. A hearing will then be scheduled to decide if a permanent order is necessary.

  • Temporary Protection Orders typically last up to 14 days until the court hearing.
  • Permanent Protection Orders can last indefinitely unless modified or dismissed by the court.

Violating a protection order is a criminal offense in Colorado. The restrained person can be arrested and may face fines, jail time, or additional legal penalties.
