Restraining Orders Attorneys in Colorado Springs, Colorado

In Colorado Springs, a civil restraining order is first granted with a temporary restraining order. This will then result in a court date which will determine if the restraining order is to be permanent or continued. A restraining order is not to be used or taken lightly, either. If you are being restrained or are the person requesting the restraining order, there are key points to understand, such as consequences, processes and purposes.

A restraining order is not meant to cut people out of your life that you simply don’t want to interact with. It cannot be used as a buffer to avoid people and situations that you would rather not deal with. Restraining orders are meant to create safety for everyone involved. Most commonly, restraining orders are requested due to:

  • Domestic abuse or violence

  • Child abuse

  • Elder abuse

  • History of assault

  • Threatened bodily harm

  • Stalking issues
