PROTECTIVE ORDERS LAWYER SALT LAKE CITY

Countless people throughout Utah are the victims of domestic violence and stalking on a daily basis. Nobody should have to live in fear of their spouse or partner. But when your personal safety and the welfare of your children are in danger, the best solution may be a restraining order. My name is Emy A. Cordano and I am a Salt Lake City restraining order attorney. Most people know about restraining orders. However, few know how to actually obtain one. As a family law attorney for nearly two decades, I have successfully helped both men and women obtain the restraining order needed to go on with their lives without having to constantly fear for their personal safety.

WHAT IS A PROTECTIVE ORDER AND HOW CAN IT HELP?

A restraining order is issued by the court and designed to protect the petitioner from a person or situation that may involve domestic violence, stalking, or sexual assault. Not only does a restraining order legally prevent a perpetrator of domestic violence to come near you or your property, but it also notifies law enforcement of the person for whom it is intended. Here is how a restraining order can help.
 

• A restraining prevents any contact between the abusive party and the petitioner and the petitioner’s children.
• It forces the abuser to leave any shared property if the petitioner feels threatened.
• The intended party must continue to pay alimony and child support, where applicable.
• A restraining order could deny or force a modification of child custody arrangements.
• Force compliance with gun ownership.
