Michigan’s PPO Process
In Michigan, there are several distinct types of Personal Protection Orders (PPOs), which vary depending on the specific nature of the relationship and the conduct involved in each case. A PPO can impose a range of prohibitions, including, but not limited to, preventing any form of contact, restricting communication, and even enforcing a minimum distance between parties, all tailored to the unique circumstances of the situation at hand. It's important to note that you do not need to press criminal charges or wait for an arrest to initiate the process of filing for a PPO. Once you have filed your petition, a judge will meticulously review the details you provided and may issue a temporary order that offers immediate protection until a more thorough examination can take place. After this initial step, the court may schedule a hearing where further arguments will be presented to determine whether a longer-term order should be granted to ensure your safety. Our knowledgeable attorneys are dedicated to assisting clients in gathering the necessary evidence, meticulously completing the petition with precision, and skillfully representing their interests during any court proceedings. Their experience aims to navigate the legal landscape effectively, providing you with the support you need during this challenging time.
