Potential for Emotional Manipulation in Missouri Order of Protection Cases

Episode 29 | April 17, 2025

Order of protection cases in Missouri aim to safeguard individuals from harm, but there is potential for emotional manipulation that can complicate outcomes. Some may exaggerate or fabricate abuse claims to gain an advantage in legal disputes, such as custody battles or divorce, leading to severe consequences for the accused, like loss of custody or restrictions on contact. Conversely, victims may feel pressured into seeking an order of protection, even when uncertain, or perpetrators may attempt to manipulate them into retracting their claims.
