KANSAS CITY METRO RESTRAINING ORDER ATTORNEY LOCATED IN BLUE SPRINGS

It’s a good thing to protect families against family members who are out of control. It’s not a good thing when one family member falsely accuses another family member of threats or assaults, in order to gain advantage in a child custody matter — which happens far too often.

In Missouri, courts hand down orders of protection, also called restraining orders, in situations suggesting domestic assault. These orders have real teeth: they can bar you from your home, bar you from seeing your children or even contacting them. You will lose your right to possess a firearm, on a federal level.

Imagine that you are out in public and you run into the household member who asked for the restraining order. You must then remove yourself from that place. If you don’t, you may be arrested.

Violate a restraining order, even accidentally, and matters only get worse. That’s why it’s important to fight restraining orders as soon as they are handed down.
