Understanding Protection Orders in Colorado
In Colorado, protection orders (also known as restraining orders) are court-issued directives designed to prevent contact between individuals, often in cases involving domestic violence, harassment, or stalking. These orders can be civil or criminal and carry serious implications. Common types include:  

• Temporary Protection Orders (TPOs): Issued quickly, often without a hearing, to provide immediate protection for up to 14 days. TPOs may restrict contact, require you to vacate a shared residence, or limit access to children.  
  
• Permanent Protection Orders (PPOs): Following a court hearing, PPOs can last indefinitely or for a specified period, imposing long-term restrictions on communication, proximity, or firearm possession.  
  
• Mandatory Protection Orders: Automatically issued in criminal cases involving domestic violence, assault, or related charges, remaining in effect during the case and potentially beyond.
  

Violating a protection order, even unintentionally, is a criminal offense, typically charged as a Class 1 misdemeanor (up to 364 days in jail, fines up to $1,000) or, in some cases, a felony for repeat violations. Colorado courts take these matters seriously, and our team is skilled at navigating the complexities of protection order cases, whether you’re seeking to challenge, modify, or defend against one.
