Challenges of Getting an Order of Protection Dismissed

Episode 30 | April 17, 2025

What are the challenges of getting an order of Protection dismissed in Missouri? An Order of Protection (OP) is a legal measure to protect individuals from domestic violence or harassment in Missouri. However, obtaining an OP dismissal is a complex process that poses several challenges. For defendants, challenging an OP involves navigating through the legal system while dealing with the emotional and financial toll of the case. The first challenge is proving that the protection order was granted in error, which may involve showing a lack of evidence or demonstrating that the claims of abuse or harassment were false or exaggerated. Additionally, defendants must comply with the legal procedures and deadlines required for filing motions to dismiss, which can be intricate and time-sensitive.
