An intervention order is a court order that prohibits someone from behaving in a certain way towards a person (the Protected Person).

This can include physical violence, emotional abuse, sexual abuse or financial abuse. It can also be used to protect children.
Interim Orders

Interim orders are short-term orders that provide protection until a judge decides whether to make a final order. They are often used to deal with urgent issues that need action before a court hearing takes place.

One of the most common family law matters handled by interim orders is child custody. This is because courts have a preference for ensuring the best interests of children are served through their care arrangements.

A lawyer can assist you with an application for an interim order. They will prepare your application and ensure you have the right information about what is going on.

You will also need to explain what is happening and why you need an interim order. For example, if you are worried about someone who is not allowed to come into your home, an interim order can help protect you.

Once you have an intervention order lawyer in place, it is a criminal offence to breach those conditions. You should call the police if you think that your safety has been compromised.
Final Orders

A final order is an order entered at the end of a trial or hearing that disposes of all issues in the case. Often, a trial or hearing may end with the entry of a non-final order that remains in effect for some time, such as a motion to compel documents from the other side.

Final orders are typically used in cases involving child custody and visitation. These orders specify details of legal and physical custody and mandate things like substance abuse treatment or parenting coordination.

They also set out a visitation schedule unless one parent is found unfit. Parents can either agree to a schedule or petition to modify it.

In New York, a final custody order can be modified if a significant change occurs in the child's circumstances, such as a birth or death. However, modifying a parenting order is rarely done within a year of the order's issuance.
Undertakings

An Intervention Order is a court order that requires you to follow a series of conditions in relation to the Applicant. These can include not being in contact with them, and can also mean that you don't have to give evidence if you disagree with the allegations made against you.

If you are facing an Intervention Order application, it is important to get legal advice to find out your options and how they can affect you. A good lawyer can help you work through the process, negotiate at each stage, and ensure you have the best outcome for you.

One option to help you avoid the risk of a criminal record is to agree to an Undertaking instead of an intervention order. An undertaking is a promise to the court that you will not do certain things, and can be given either orally or in writing. It is often used in domestic and family violence cases where the victim is hesitant to go through with an application for a protection order.
Contested Hearings

When state or local government takes an action, Minnesota law often gives affected individuals and businesses a right to challenge that action in a hearing called a “contested case proceeding.”

Contested case proceedings are regulated by the Uniform Administrative Procedure Act (UAPA). The UAPA sets out how agencies must conduct contested cases, including determining who is entitled to party status, notice requirements to those who are interested, and conduct and record of the hearing.

A contested hearing is usually a temporary or final trial where the parties present evidence to the Judge about the facts of their case. The Judge then makes a decision based on the evidence presented.

If you do not agree with the allegations made by the applicant, or they are false, it can be a good idea to contest the order and attend a contested hearing. You can do this in a number of ways, such as consenting without admissions or proposing an undertaking instead of an order.
