Personal Protection Orders (PPOs) are legal tools designed to protect individuals from harassment or violence. In Michigan, we have two types: domestic and non-domestic. Domestic PPOs, typically used in cases involving intimate relationships, are often easier to obtain. Non-domestic PPOs, for situations like neighbor disputes, require a higher burden of proof. While a PPO itself isn't a physical barrier, it's a legally binding order. Violating a PPO can result in serious consequences, including contempt of court charges and new criminal charges. Whether you're seeking a PPO or defending against one, understanding the process and the implications is vital.
