Understanding Orders Of Protection With Canterbury Law Group

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Oct. 6, 2015 - PRLog -- Canterbury Law Group, the Scottsdale divorce attorneys, often manage family law cases that involve an Order of Protection ("OOP").  An OOP is a court order prohibiting a person from committing acts of domestic violence or from contacting people protected by the order.  A person who believes her/his safety is in jeopardy due to domestic violence or harassment can ask the court for an OOP.

The legal standard for securing an order of protection vary depending on the history of the two parties' relationship, so it is best to contact a trusted attorney to evaluate and invoke your rights.  It is also crucial to contact a lawyer if you have been wrongfully served with an OOP based on false allegations against you.

Although cases vary, here is basic information needed to obtain an Order of Protection:

1.The name, date of birth and address (if known,) of the person that you are requesting protection from (the defendant) and, if possible, any other address where that person may be reached, including place of work.

2. Dates and details of the domestic violence /harassing acts or why you believe that domestic violence or harm may occur without the OOP.

3. A safe address and phone number where you may be contacted so the court can notify you if a hearing is scheduled or if there is a change of the hearing date.

4. Additional information includes a physical description, Social Security Number and any known aliases.

The divorce lawyers at Canterbury will protect you and your rights.  They also excel in having wrongfully obtained or fraudulent Orders of Protection quashed and thrown out of court.  Do not delay in contacting an experienced OOP attorney immediately if you have been served with an OOP which you believe is based on false allegations.
