Understanding the Consequences of Emergency Protective Orders
When facing an emergency protective order (EPO) filed by your ex-partner, it is crucial to understand the potential consequences of not showing up to the hearing. Hi, I’m Tulsa father’s rights attorney Clint Hastings. If you find yourself dealing with this scenario, and it would be wise to attend the hearing, even if you don’t want to have contact with the ex-partner. If you do not attend the hearing, a final protective order may be issued against you, which can have long-lasting effects on your record.
It is important to consider the impact a final protective order can have on your future, including your ability to find employment. Working with an experienced attorney can help you navigate the legal system and potentially negotiate a more favorable outcome for your situation.
Exploring Alternative Options
If you believe the case against you is weak or if you do not wish to have contact with your ex-partner, there may be alternative options to consider. Your attorney can help negotiate terms with the other party, such as setting a period of time without violations to have the order removed.
By actively participating in the legal process and exploring all available options, you may be able to avoid the long-term consequences of a final protective order. Seeking legal advice can help you make informed decisions about your next steps.
