Order For Protection Domestic Temporary Order {UJS-091C}

Form UJS-091C - ORDER FOR PROTECTION. This form is used in the State of South Dakota Circuit Court to request and issue a Temporary or Permanent Order of Protection in cases involving domestic abuse or stalking. It is designed to protect individuals who are experiencing or are at risk of experiencing physical harm, threats, harassment, or other forms of abuse. The petitioner, who may also be acting on behalf of a minor, provides identifying information and outlines the abusive conduct committed by the respondent. Based on the allegations and supporting affidavit, the court determines whether to issue a protection order without requiring the respondent’s immediate presence (ex parte), finding that immediate and irreparable harm may occur otherwise. The order restrains the respondent from contacting or approaching the petitioner and may include provisions such as removing the respondent from the petitioner’s residence, restricting proximity to specific individuals or locations, awarding temporary custody of minor children, setting terms for visitation, requiring payment of child or spousal support, prohibiting all forms of communication, and mandating the surrender of firearms and ammunition. The court also warns that violating this order constitutes a criminal offense and that it is enforceable in all U.S. states, territories, and tribal jurisdictions. The order remains in effect until a stated expiration date or until modified or terminated by the court, and both parties are notified and served accordingly. www.FormsWorkflow.com
