Protection Order | Nexus Family Law

Colorado Protection Order Lawyers

A Civil Protection Order can require the abuser to stop certain behaviors, such as contacting or coming near the victim, and can also provide other relief, such as requiring the abuser to leave a shared home, and ordering the abuser to surrender firearms.

A Civil Protection Order is a legal document issued by a court that can help protect individuals from domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault, harassment, or other forms of abuse. Civil Protection Orders are designed to provide a legal remedy for victims of abuse or harassment, and to help prevent further acts of violence or harassment.

A Civil Protection Order can be obtained through a Domestic Relations court and can be enforced by law enforcement.

To obtain a Civil Protection Order, an individual must file a Petition or a Motion with the appropriate court. Once a Petition or a Motion for Civil Protection Order is filed a Temporary Protection Order hearing will be scheduled to determine if a Temporary Protection Order is appropriate. If the Court grants a Temporary Protection Order, the Court will schedule a Permanent Protection Order hearing no later than 14 days after the issuance of the temporary civil protection order to determine whether the temporary protection order shall be converted into a permanent protection order.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I was very happy with the amount of work Yasaman and her team did for me, she even had to do the work of my ex’s lawyer (a high profile veteran lawyer with 25 plus years experience). I was very impressed! She did an excellent job and upheld high standards of honesty, integrity and respect within the courtroom and within every aspect of my case. She was ready and fully prepared throughout the 11 month ordeal. I will highly recommend her to anyone in the future who needs help in family law.

Michele

Due to unfortunate events that led me to seek legal help, I have been so grateful to have found Elizabeth. I have been her client for the last 3 years. From the moment we had our first phone call, I knew I was dealing with a professional that could successfully help me navigative a very difficult parenting time situation. That’s exactly what she has done. She is honest, direct, responsive, and effectively communicates every time without fail. She always has my daughters best interest in mind and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with something so sensitive and important. It really does help me feel at ease having her in my corner! If you are looking for someone to help you navigate a co-parenting related issue, I highly recommend using Elizabeth at Nexus Family Law.

Trish

I’ve been working with this firm for almost 2 years. I am engaged in a high conflict custody battle with a ex-partner who has narcissistic personality disorder. My attorney understands what makes my case unique. My ex has no empathy, nor is he capable of compromising, or even reaching an agreement. It has been an endless path of frustration with my daughter as the main victim.

Elizabeth is my attorney. She has a high level of intelligence, empathy and experience dealing with high conflict cases. I almost gave up at one point, but Liz was one of the people who never stopped believing in me. Not only does my attorney have a great heart, she is a shark in the court room, and will take that narcissist down!

Katie

I have had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth and Yasaman for a few years now. Elizabeth guided me through and helped me win a tumultuous custody battle for my son. She was a refreshing and encouraging change in counsel from my previous representation that showed neither lack nor care for my case. She was kind, patient, and worked tirelessly on my case. Yasaman was also a joy to work with and mirrored the same care and diligence when she needed to step in on my case. Last, but certainly not least, Casidy is an amazing paralegal and never skipped a beat. This is a dynamic group of women and I highly recommend their firm!
