Oregon Instructions for Obtaining a Restraining Order are the guidelines and steps a person must take to get a restraining order in the state of Oregon. Most restraining orders in Oregon are called “Stalking Protective Orders” or “Civil Stalking Injunctions.” In order to obtain a restraining order in Oregon, the person must first file a petition with the court. The petition should include the name and contact information of the petitioner, the name and contact information of the respondent, a description of the stalking behavior, and a request for a restraining order. The petitioner can also include information about any other safety concerns they may have. Once the petition is filed, the court will schedule a hearing and provide notice to the respondent. After the hearing, the court will either issue a restraining order or deny the petition. If the court grants the restraining order, it will specify the length of time it will remain in effect and the conditions of the order. The restraining order may include provisions such as prohibiting the respondent from contacting or harassing the petitioner, ordering the respondent to stay a certain distance away from the petitioner, and prohibiting the respondent from possessing firearms. In some cases, the court may also issue a temporary restraining order. This is a short-term restraining order that is issued before the hearing. The court may also issue a restraining order after the hearing if the petitioner is able to prove that the respondent has committed stalking behavior. The court will then provide the respondent with notice of the restraining order and its conditions. The restraining order may be modified or extended by the court if the petitioner can demonstrate a need for additional protection.
