A Michigan Personal Protection Order Against Stalking (Non-Domestic) (Ex Parte) is a court order that can be obtained by a victim of stalking. The order provides protection from further stalking or harassment and can be obtained without the perpetrator's knowledge. It is a civil protection order and is obtained in the county where the stalking has occurred. There are two types of expert orders: temporary and final. A temporary Michigan Personal Protection Order Against Stalking (Non-Domestic) (Ex Parte) can be issued without the alleged stalker's knowledge. It is valid for up to 14 days and can be extended if needed. It may include provisions such as no contact, stay away orders, and prohibitions on possessing firearms. A final Michigan Personal Protection Order Against Stalking (Non-Domestic) (Ex Parte) is issued after the alleged stalker is notified and has a chance to respond. The court may grant a final order that includes any of the provisions that may be in the temporary order. The final order is valid for up to one year and can be extended if needed. Both types of Michigan Personal Protection Order Against Stalking (Non-Domestic) (Ex Parte) can be enforced by law enforcement and violators may be arrested or charged with a crime.
