What is a Non-Domestic PPO, and How Do I Get One?
A non-domestic Personal Protection Order (PPO) is a type of court order designed to protect you from harassment, stalking, or threats by someone outside your family. In other words, a non-domestic PPO is typically issued against someone not related by blood or marriage and does not have any current or prior romantic or cohabiting relationship with you.
Filing a PPO against another party is not always simple and may require several steps or due diligence on your part before the court grants it. Aldrich Legal Services can help you secure an order by gathering evidence of harassment or stalking. Our firm can also obtain and complete all paperwork, file the petition, represent you at the hearing, serve the PPO, and follow up.
