Understanding Protective Orders and How to Avoid Them
Hi, I’m Tahlequah protective order lawyer Aaron Grubb at Wirth Law Office and we’re going to talk about protective orders and just how to avoid them. Recently, I’ve had a number of protective orders come across my desk, prompting me to create this video to inform you about what protective orders are and how to prevent them.
Understanding the implications of a protective order is crucial. There are two main types: an emergency protective order and a standard protective order, both designed to safeguard individuals from potential harm. When a protective order is issued, the other party must surrender all firearms to local law enforcement, which can lead to significant repercussions if they fail to comply.
The Process of Obtaining a Protective Order
Obtaining a protective order can be a complicated and demanding process. It typically requires the submission of evidence and personal testimony, making you the primary witness in case proceedings. This often involves the emotional and legal burden of having to prove your case in a court setting.
To avoid the hassle and stress involved in this process, it’s crucial to understand the common triggers for protective orders. Many cases arise from online interactions, such as those on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, as well as text messages. By simply blocking the other person on these platforms, you can eliminate a significant source of conflict.
Realistic Approaches to Preventing Protective Orders
It’s important to take a step back and evaluate the situation realistically. Consider whether pursuing a protective order will genuinely serve any purpose. Often, individuals involved in these disputes are unlikely to be convinced of their fault, even after a protective order has been issued. Therefore, avoiding unnecessary confrontation by using the block option can save you time, money, and emotional distress.
If you are uncertain about what constitutes a valid reason for a protective order or have questions about how to navigate your situation, feel free to reach out. My name is Aaron Grubb, and I’m the Tahlequah family attorney at Wirth Law Office, here to assist you.
