Family Law Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an OFP and an HRO in Minnesota?
An Order for Protection (OFP) is typically issued in cases involving allegations of domestic abuse between family or household members. A Harassment Restraining Order (HRO) addresses harassment, stalking, or unwanted contact, and can be filed by anyone, regardless of relationship.
How long does an OFP or HRO stay in effect?
The duration depends on the case. Temporary orders may last only a few weeks until a hearing, while final orders can last up to two years or longer. In some cases, extensions may be requested if the court finds ongoing need for protection.
Can I fight an OFP or HRO in court?
Yes. You have the right to challenge an OFP or HRO. At the hearing, you can present evidence, call witnesses, and argue why the order should be dismissed or modified. Having an experienced attorney can help protect your rights and your reputation.
What happens if I violate an OFP or HRO?
Violating an OFP or HRO is a serious criminal offense in Minnesota. Consequences can include jail time, fines, and a permanent mark on your record. If accused of a violation, seek legal representation immediately to defend your case.
