An Order of Protection is also known as a restraining order. Missouri recognizes two types of restraining orders: an adult order of protection and a child order of protection. Generally, people apply for orders of protection as a means to keep someone away from them or their child.
An adult order of protection is a type of order to prevent an adult from having contact with another adult. These are generally filed when there have been instances of physical assault, physical abuse, sexual abuse, harassment or stalking. The purpose of an adult order of protection is to prevent a person from engaging in unwanted contact.
A child order of protection is a type of order to prevent a person from having contact with a child. These are generally filed when there has been an incident of domestic violence, sexual abuse or harassment. The purpose of the child order of protection is to prevent a person from engaging in contact with a child.
Do you understand the law? If not, then you need a lawyer. Filling out an application for an order of protection does not ensure that the court will issue an order of protection.
There are significant consequences to a person where a court enters an order of protection against that person. Do you understand the consequences? If not, then you need a lawyer.

A mother was seeking sole custody of her children following a divorce. The father refused to cooperate, leaving the client in a difficult situation as she felt as though her children didn’t have a voice. Scott recognized her need for an advocate and carefully listened to the children’s wishes, which conclusively helped the client achieve sole custody of her children and protected their best interests.
Scott assisted a defendant in a particularly challenging divorce case in which the other spouse was not cooperating. Scott was able to help the client avoid court through an aggressive legal approach to resolve all outstanding disagreements while maintaining the client’s long-term needs.
A grandparent sought visitation rights to his grandchild after the parent tried to block him.
