Petition For Order For Protection {OFP-102}

OFP102 - PETITION FOR ORDER FOR PROTECTION (OFP). This form is used in the State of Minnesota to request legal protection for individuals who have experienced domestic abuse. It allows a petitioner to ask the court for an order prohibiting the respondent (the person accused of abuse) from contacting or harming the petitioner or others needing protection, including minor children or guardians. The form requires the petitioner to provide details about themselves, their children (if applicable), the respondent, and any incidents of domestic abuse, including dates, nature of harm, use of weapons, injuries, or police involvement. Additionally, the petitioner can request specific relief, such as no-contact orders, removal of the respondent from shared living spaces, or temporary custody arrangements. The court will review the petition and may issue an Ex Parte Order for Protection, which can be followed by a hearing if necessary. www.FormsWorkflow.com
