In this third video in a series on Temporary Protective Orders (TPOs), Steve Shewmaker and Alexa Lewis discuss what happens after a court ordered TPO is granted. What length of time is it in effect? What are the parameters of the ruling? What if there are children involved? Are TPOs ever used as a “weapon” in a divorce proceeding? TPOs in Georgia can stray into areas typically covered by domestic and divorce law and a judge has a great deal of latitude in their decision. This video will go over many of the potential consequences faced by the parties involved. It is strongly advised that you have a lawyer for the full evidentiary hearing on your petition for a TPO. Contact Shewmaker & Lewis if you are seeking a TPO or facing a TPO. We’re here to help.
