Victim ServicesQuestion:
What is a Protective Order and who can get one?
Answer:
Protective Orders are most commonly used when a person is involved in a domestic violence situation. Some of the requirements for a protective order are: parties are or have been married; cohabitated together; have a child in common or are related by blood. A protective order may allow you to put certain restrictions against this person. Other requirements may be necessary and you may call Victim Services to find out if you meet the qualifications. Forms are also available at www.utcourts.gov.
