How is a permanent protective order obtained?

• A. At the final protective order hearing
• B. Before any hearing
• C. During an arrest
• D. After probation

Answer: (A)

A permanent protective order is issued at the final protective order hearing. After someone asks the court for protection, the judge may grant a temporary order to keep people safe while the case is pending. At the final hearing, both sides can present evidence, and if the judge finds in favor, a permanent protective order is entered. It then lasts for a set period or indefinitely, and can later be renewed or modified. It isn’t issued before a hearing, not simply because someone is arrested, and it isn’t tied to probation.
