What you're up against
You should not have to figure this out alone, or slowly!
These are the questions we hear most from people calling about a protection order in Colorado.
Urgency — "How fast can I actually get protection in place?"
A temporary order can sometimes be granted the same day it is requested, without the other party present. Knowing the real timeline, not a guess, helps you plan your next move.
The Hearing — "What happens after I file, and what will they know?"
A temporary order is typically followed by a full hearing within about two weeks. Understanding what happens at that hearing, and what information is shared, matters before you file.
Children — "Can my kids be protected too, not just me?"
A protection order can address custody and parenting time alongside your own safety. Most people do not realize both can be handled in the same filing.
Cost —"I'm already dealing with a crisis, can I still get help?"
Cost should not be the reason you wait when your safety is on the line. Our intake team can talk through what this looks like for your situation before anything is decided.
