Protective Order Attorney Based in Utah

Utah’s protective order statute lets a judge build parent-time terms directly into the order, supervised exchanges, denial of parent-time, or no contact at all, if that’s what safety requires. That’s different from most family law tools, which handle one issue at a time. Whether you need protection or you’re responding to an order you believe is unfair, I’ll help you understand exactly what it requires and how it fits with the rest of your case.

Navigating Utah's Protective Order Process

Utah’s cohabitant abuse protective order process is set out in Utah Code § 78B-7-603, and the abuse standard itself is defined in § 78B-7-102, it covers more than physical injury, including being placed in reasonable fear of imminent harm. A civil violation is treated as contempt of court; knowingly violating an order after being served is a separate criminal offense.

Why Choose Gibb Law for Protective Orders

These cases move fast, and they often overlap with a custody case already in progress. I look at the whole picture, the protective order and whatever else is happening in your family case because Utah law specifically allows a protective order’s civil terms to be addressed within a related divorce or custody matter. Handling them separately usually costs more time and money than it needs to.
