HOW IS THE ABUSER NOTIFIED OF THE TEMPORARY PROTECTION FROM ABUSE?
The abuser must be served with notice of the temporary protection order and the hearing date. Generally, the sheriff’s department or a local law enforcement agency will serve the court order on the abuser; those arrangements will be explained or set into motion once a temporary abuse order has been obtained. Once the abuser is served, he/she can be arrested for violating the any of the terms of the court order.
