Family law litigation often involves the need for protection
of property or from the other party, or restraints to govern behavior moving
forward. There are several different
types of protection and restraining orders, including Restraining Order,
Domestic Violence Protection Order, Sexual Assault Protection Order and Anti-Harassment Protection Order.
Restraining Order:
Many divorce cases involve the use of restraints, whether it be personal
or financial restraints. Personal restraints
often include requirements not to disturb the peace, stay from a parties home
or workplace or in the case of children, from school or daycare. Personal restraints can also include
provisions not to threaten and may even include a surrender of weapons to law
enforcement. Financial restraints may
include requirements not to dispose of property (i.e., selling off assets) and
not to change insurance entitlements or beneficiaries. Lastly, when it comes to concerns about
children, a restraint may be entered requiring that the parties not leave the
State of Washington with the children.
Many of these restraints in divorce cases are often made mutual to
protect both parties.
