Information Regarding Indiana Restraining Orders

In Indiana, a person who has become a victim of stalking, domestic violence, or a sexual offense can seek an order of protection against their offender. Protective orders are enforced by law and forbid offenders from making any form of contact with the person the order protects.They are free and generally stay active for 2 years.A court might grant an “ex-parte order” if a petition involves family or domestic violence. This means the restraining order is approved immediately, without first having a hearing, but a hearing must take place within 30 days if possession of property or children are involved. Also in the case of an ex parte order, both parties can request a court hearing within 30 days of the order being issued.

At these hearings, courts readdress the constituents of protection orders and determine the proper restraints, including child visitation, financial payments, gun restrictions and more. All other petitions for protective orders must first be scheduled a hearing before being granted by the courts. For those who are granted a restraining order, it is advised to keep a copy of the document with them at all times.
