Order of Protection Defense Attorney Serving Nashville, Tennessee

Orders of Protection can be obtained when there have been allegations of domestic abuse. There must be a domestic relationship between the parties for someone to qualify for an order of protection first. That can be marriage, a dating or romantic relationship, family, or roommates. The allegations must also be for domestic abuse, threat of domestic abuse, harassment, sexual assault, threatening a pet, or stalking.
