  • Arkansas Order of Protection: An order of protection in Arkansas protects a victim of domestic abuse from their abuser. If violated, the abuser can face a class A misdemeanor charge and, in certain circumstances, a Class D felony. An order of protection will also aid in keeping the abuser away from the victim’s home, place of business, child's daycare or school, or other addresses the court deems necessary to protect the victim. If the abuser currently resides with the victim, the abuser could be required to move out.
  • Missouri Order of Protection: An order of protection is issued by a Missouri court to restrain an individual from abusing, stalking, sexually assaulting, or harassing another person. Orders of protection carry criminal penalties for a violation. An order of protection is valid in every state and is upheld and enforced by every state. An ex parte order of protection is a temporary order granted on an emergency basis.
