Civil Protection Orders in Mentor

A Civil Protection Order (CPO) is designed to protect the victims of domestic violence, the “petitioner”, and hold their abuser, the “respondent”, accountable for their actions. When the petitioner files a petition they are asking the court for a type of relief from the abusive action displayed by the respondent. The petitioner must fill out a form and provide evidence of harmful wrongdoings at the hands of the respondent. From there, legal proceedings occur and the petition is either granted or denied.
