georgia temporary protective order (tpo)

Domestic violence affects families across Georgia and can take many forms, including physical harm, emotional or psychological abuse, financial control, stalking, harassment, and threats of violence. When family violence occurs, Georgia law allows victims to seek protection through the family courts by requesting a protective order (also known as a restraining order). These court orders are designed to safeguard individuals and children by placing legal restrictions on the accused party. At Jaffe Family Law, our experienced Georgia family law attorneys help clients statewide pursue protective orders or defend against unfair allegations, always with a focus on safety, stability, and legal rights.

A temporary protective order (TPO) may be granted quickly by a judge based on reported abuse or threats, followed by a court hearing where both parties can present evidence. If warranted, the court may extend the order for up to 12 months or longer. Protective orders in Georgia can require an alleged abuser to cease contact, leave the home, provide financial support, comply with custody arrangements, attend counseling, or pay restitution for medical bills or property damage. These orders may also protect children and other household members, and violations can result in serious legal consequences. Jaffe Family Law guides clients through every step of the protective order process, from filing petitions to representing them in court hearings anywhere in Georgia.

We also represent individuals who have been served with a protective order and need strong legal advocacy to defend against false or exaggerated claims—especially in high-conflict divorce or custody cases. Protective orders can dramatically impact housing, parenting rights, employment, and reputation, making skilled representation essential. Whether you are seeking protection from family violence or contesting a restraining order, Jaffe Family Law provides dedicated legal support throughout Georgia, helping clients protect their families, their futures, and their rights.
