Description

Emergency Protection Order Isued Pursuant to Section 13-14-103, C.R.S.: This is an official form from the Colorado State Judicial Branch, which complies with all applicable laws and statutes. USLF amends and updates the forms as is required by Colorado statutes and law. A Centennial Colorado Emergency Protection Order Issued Pursuant to Section 13-14-103, C.R.S., is a legal document issued by the Colorado courts providing immediate legal protection for individuals facing imminent domestic violence or a credible threat of harm. This order is enacted to safeguard the safety of victims and prevent further acts of violence. The Centennial Colorado Emergency Protection Order serves as a temporary measure until a more comprehensive solution, such as a permanent protection order, can be established through a formal court proceeding. It grants certain rights and restrictions upon the respondent, the alleged perpetrator of the documented domestic violence or threat. There are different types of Centennial Colorado Emergency Protection Orders, each with its specific purpose and duration: 1. Temporary Emergency Protection Order (TEMPO): A TEMPO is the initial emergency protection order issued by a judge without notice to the respondent. It is meant to provide immediate protection for the victim and can remain in effect until a full hearing can be held, usually within a few days. 2. Extended Temporary Emergency Protection Order (ET EPO): An ET EPO is an extension of the TEMPO, granted by the court during the full hearing if the judge determines that continued protection is necessary. This can extend the duration of the order for a specified period, often up to two weeks. It is crucial to note that while Centennial Colorado Emergency Protection Orders are effective tools for immediate protection, they must be supported by evidence and witness testimony. The burden of proof falls on the petitioner seeking the order to demonstrate the existence of domestic violence or a credible threat of harm.
