What Is Considered Domestic Violence in Redmond?

Domestic violence can refer to physical assault, sexual assault, verbal abuse, threatening behavior and psychological abuse by a spouse, dating partner, family member or other member of the household.

How Do I Get a Restraining Order in WA?

If you have experienced abuse or fear that the person will become violent, you can go to court to obtain a temporary domestic violence protection order (DVPO). This occurs in an ex parte hearing.

An order for protection will generally trigger removal of the alleged abuser from the home, and possibly jail if there is evidence of assault or a terroristic threat. Typically the person will not be allowed to contact the alleged victim in any manner (in person or by phone, email, text or third party).

The OFP may also prevent the person from having contact with his/her children, or only supervised visitation.

Within 14 days, a hearing will be held on the status of the temporary order. Our Redmond domestic violence attorney will help you present your case for continuing the order for protection, amending it or rescinding it.

If the court determines there is insufficient evidence for a permanent order for protection, there may be other recourses under Washington law:

• A no-contact order with criminal penalties if violated
• A restraining order that protects joint accounts and assets
• A civil anti-harassment order

How Long Does a Restraining Order Last in WA?

A temporary restraining order lasts 14 days (until the court date). A final restraining order is permanent unless modified.
