What is an Order of Protection or O-Docket?
Call now: 516-660-4354
O-dockets are not criminal (and I want to repeat that because people often think they are). They’re designed for people who have a family relationship and they are meant to place a restriction on behavior. In plain terms, an Order of Protection can stop you from calling someone, going on their social media pages, posting about them online, going to their home, going to a child’s school, going to their doctor, or getting involved in any way. That’s called a “Stay Away Order of Protection.”There’s also a “Refrain From Order of Protection.” A Refrain From order means you can’t harass, annoy, or alarm the other person, but you may still be able to communicate with them or see them. These often come up when people work in the same building and it would be impossible to completely stay away.
