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:
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.
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.
