Getting a FAPA Restraining Order
Obtaining a Family Abuse Prevention Act abuse restraining order in Oregon is a relatively simple procedure, unless the subject of the order challenges it. Our firm can help you at any stage of the process.
The first step is to fill out a petition for a Family Abuse Prevention Act restraining order and appear at an ex parte hearing before a judge to determine whether your petition meets the legal requirements to grant the order. The subject of the order will not be present. If the judge is satisfied with your answers, the judge will issue a restraining order good for up to one year. The order must be served on the subject, which can be done by a friend or a sheriff's deputy.
If the subject of the order challenges it, a hearing will be scheduled. At that time, the court will hear testimony from both sides. Marshall ("Marty") Wilde and Shannon L. Hall can assist you each step along the way and can represent you in this hearing - providing evidence in support of your case and seeking specific conditions regarding the type of contact (if any) the subject can have with you and your children.
Marty and Shannon can also advise and represent you regarding the extension, modification or revocation of an existing restraining order.
