Order For Protection (Domestic Permanent Order Of Protection) {UJS-091F}

Form UJS-091F - ORDER FOR PROTECTION. This form is used in the State of South Dakota Circuit Court to issue a Domestic Permanent Order of Protection, which is a legal order intended to safeguard individuals from domestic abuse. It is typically used when the petitioner—who may be a victim of abuse or acting on behalf of a minor—seeks long-term legal protection from the respondent, who is accused of engaging in abusive, threatening, or harassing behavior. The court issues this order after determining it has proper jurisdiction and that the respondent has been given a fair opportunity to be heard. The order may include a range of protective measures, such as prohibiting contact with the petitioner, restricting the respondent’s presence near certain individuals or locations (such as the petitioner’s residence or workplace), granting temporary custody of children, regulating visitation, and requiring the respondent to surrender weapons or attend parenting classes. Violation of this order is a criminal offense and may also result in federal charges under U.S. law. The form includes sections for court findings, specific orders, and acknowledgment of receipt by both parties, and is enforceable across all states, U.S. territories, and tribal lands. www.FormsWorkflow.com
