Order For Protection (Stalking Permanent Order Of Protection) {UJS-121F}

Form UJS-121F - ORDER FOR PROTECTION. This form is used in South Dakota circuit courts to issue an Order for Protection, which may be related to domestic abuse, stalking, or other forms of harassment. It is applicable for various types of protective orders, including ex parte temporary, permanent, or modification orders. The form serves as the official court document that identifies the petitioner and respondent, outlines the nature of the threat or harm alleged, and provides legal restraints on the respondent to prevent further abuse, threats, or contact with the petitioner and other protected individuals. The court makes findings based on jurisdiction, due process, and the allegations or evidence presented, and issues specific directives such as prohibiting contact, requiring the respondent to stay away from designated locations or persons, and surrendering firearms or ammunition. The form may also include provisions related to child custody, visitation, and support, depending on the circumstances. Once issued, the order becomes legally enforceable across state lines, including U.S. territories and tribal lands, and violation of the order constitutes a criminal offense. The order includes warnings to the respondent about serious state and federal consequences for non-compliance, including potential imprisonment and fines. www.FormsWorkflow.com
