Personal Protection Orders

Personal Protection Orders (PPOs) are orders of the Washtenaw County Trial Court that forbid or require a person to do something.  The person filing a PPO is the petitioner, and the person you file a PPO against is the respondent.

There are two types of PPOs:

• Restraining PPO (for victims of dating or domestic violence)
• Stalking PPO (for victims of stalking)

How to file a Personal Protection Order
