🗣️ Simple Explanation

The court can give temporary orders during a case. If the court believes someone is being abused or might be, they can give an order even if the other person isn't there (ex parte), based on the evidence.

💡 Real Life Example

A woman, A, files a case against her husband, B, for domestic violence. The court, seeing immediate danger, issues an ex parte order to B to stay away from A's house until the next hearing.

🛡️ KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
  • You have the right to seek immediate protection orders from the court.
  • You can get temporary orders even if the other person isn't present.
