Protection Order Court Process

Summary

If someone pleads not guilty to charges related to a protection order, the case goes to trial, and you may need to testify. If you havent been directly informed by the court about attending, confirm your required presence with the court or prosecutor. If the accused pleads guilty without your attendance, the court will proceed based on existing evidence. Report any ongoing harassment to law enforcement and inform the prosecutor. Consider applying for an emergency protection order for added safety. Stay in contact with law enforcement and ensure they have your current contact information for updates on the case.
