Defending Orders Of Protection For Those Wrongly Accused

Orders Of Protection Restrictions
If a man or woman goes to the Department of Social Services (DSS) and claims their spouse abused or threatened to abuse them, they may receive protection. If DSS takes the case, the nonaccused parent could receive full child custody and visitation rights to their children. The parent who is wrongly accused of the crime can be subjected to orders of protection, including but not limited to:
• A loss of parenting time
• Being prohibited from carrying a gun, even for work
• Restricted interactions with all children, including working as a bus driver or teacher
These restrictions make sense for someone who is guilty, but they are not appropriate for someone who has been wrongly accused.
