Restraining Orders

You may be eligible to obtain restraining orders to protect you and your children in divorce, parenting plan, modification of parenting plan, non-parental custody, and parentage actions. The three common restraining orders that we represent clients in are immediate emergency restraining orders, temporary restraining order, and restraining orders that are issued at the end of a case that last one year or longer. These orders are obtained when there is an open case. This is different from domestic violence protection orders. If there is a situation where stalking, assault, threats of harm, and other things between people who are related, have a child in common, live together, are or have been in a dating relationship, you will want to consider filing a petition for a domestic violence protection order to protect yourself. We can help you decide which order is right for you.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
"Mr Yetter was hired specifically to represent me in a contentious divorce with parenting plan/support complexities. During our consultation appointment, he listened intently with compassion. Asked thoughtful, pertinent questions and laid out a progression plan. There were multiple court, mediation appointments. He was always present and prepared. No litigation is easy, but I've found his willingness to be flexible and pivot quickly under time constraints to be a reassuring quality." Melanie
★★★★★

★★★★★
"Matt Yetter expertly and with sensitivity helped me prepare for and surmount a challenging divorce, where I initially felt overwhelmed and outgunned. Matt was patient and empathic, assisting me to establish and maintain goals that served my best interests and that were ethical to both parties. Despite my presenting challenges as a client (strongly felt emotions and ambivalence), Matt deftly and compassionately guided me through legal, situational and personal steps to achieve all desired ends to my satisfaction."
