Restraining Orders

Attorneys Who Can Help With Your Restraining Order Proceedings

There are many types of Restraining Orders in connection with Divorce proceedings.

The first type of restraining order accompanies the Petition for Dissolution. It restrains both parties from selling property, mortgaging property, or hiding property without prior consent of the other party. It also requires the parties to notify each other in regard to extraordinary expenses and to account for these extraordinary expenditures in court. The Petition for Dissolution is also accompanied by a restraining order prohibiting either party from removing the minor child from the state of Colorado without prior court order. Additional restraining orders that accompany the Petition for Dissolution include restraining the parties from disturbing the peace of the other party and continuing to pay premiums for insurance (i.e. health insurance, life, homeowners, auto or renter’s insurance).

Securing a Civil Protection Order in Colorado

Another type of restraining order is issued when one party physically requests a civil protection order from the court. This is the type of restraining order most people are familiar with. It will enjoin one party from contacting the other party or protected persons, including children, as well as remain at least 100 yards from the protected party’s place of residence, place of employment or school of the children. This restraining order is issued in a temporary format and is effective once issued. The parties are then instructed to return to court, usually within fourteen (14) days, to conduct a hearing and determine whether that order will become permanent. Restraining Orders can later be dismissed by the moving party, or continued and enveloped into the divorce proceeding. Another way to resolve restraining orders includes a “No Contact Order” in which the parties enter into a contractual agreement in which they will not contact each other. This agreement is a contract, filed with the court and valid as only a contract. The terms of this contract can be styled to suit either or both parties. This is a civil restraining order.

Domestic Violence and Criminal Protection Orders

The final type of restraining order comes about through a domestic violence situation. When a party is arrested for domestic violence, and once he/she is arraigned in court, the court will issue a criminal protection order. This protection order remains in effect so long as the criminal proceedings remain alive in the court. This would also include the term of the plea, if any, entered by the court. This type of restraining order restrains the defendant from harassing, molesting, or otherwise intimidating the other party.

Consequences of Violating Restraining Orders in Colorado

All of these restraining orders are orders of the court that issues them and will result in further criminal charges if violated. The charges could range from as little as no jail (but probation) to as much as two (2) years in jail if the restraining order is violated. The party restrained is encouraged to abide by the contents of the order lest they find themselves in jail.

    "I was absolutely floored with the knowledge and expertise that not only Caryn carries, but the firm as a whole."
    I, unfortunately, was involved with two separate situations within a few years of each other, which left me in quite a bind both times. I was lucky enough to have Caryn assist me in both cases and was absolutely floored with the knowledge and expertise that not only she carries, but the firm as a whole. One of the best, if not the best lawyers I've ever come across. Extremely nice and very honest. I was able to resolve my situations with minimal impact and continue my life without fear of being held back.

    "You can say I am a very satisfied client!!"
    After my traffic accident my daughter advised me that I should get legal council and she directed me to contact your law firm. As I set on a couple occasions to meeting with the people in your firm. I got the feeling that this was a right decision and that I would be taken care of. This feeling was spot on as the attorney assigned to my case (Mr. Robert F. To o l e was very good and went to great lengths to make sure that he understood all aspects of my accident and what the police did or did not do. And today at my appointed time to be in court Mr. Toole briefed me as to what was expected and showed me a statement from the city and their offer of no point or any changes to my driving privileges and with only a small fine to be paid. As I agreed to this I went into the courtroom with Mr. Toole and had a good understanding between the judge and Mr. Toole and myself. I can say that regardless of all the advertisements you see on the media by the different law firms touting all the money they get there clients. The Gasper Law firm is very much above all these others because they truly care about the people they represent. From the clerks to the staff to the lawyers this is what makes your firm so good. And lawyer Robert F. Toole is every bit what a lawyer should be and none of the BS. And I will recommend your firm and Mr. Toole to all my friends and others who need good representation in legal matters. You can say I am a very satisfied client!!

    "My charges were dropped and we walked away with all parental rights/custody and a restraining order against the other party."
    Caryn Adams and her team are hands down the BEST. I don't think I would have made it through what I went through without her by my side. My charges were dropped and we walked away with all parental rights/custody and a restraining order against the other party.
