Are You In Need of A Temporary Protection Order (TPO)?
There are times when abusive people do not respect the boundaries of those who have left the abusive relationship. If the abuser is not respecting your boundaries, we encourage you to consider getting a temporary protection order.
The Legal Advocacy Team of PADV are here to help you navigate through this process. You have rights and being intimidated or threatened is unacceptable.
Our legal advocacy team is located at the Gwinnett County Jail and the Fulton County Courthouse.
