Trespass, protective orders must be legally started, stopped

Here are some general tips about protection orders and trespass warnings:

If a person is trespassed from a location — he or she is given a warning that he or she is no longer allowed at a certain address. This is done by the owner or representative of the owner. The information is noted by the home/business owner and in our records for future reference. The person breaking the trespass can be cited or arrested for the violation.

This trespass must be rescinded, in writing, before it is null and void. Just because the trespassed party is “invited” to come back, the paperwork is still on file and it is still a crime. Make sure the paperwork is corrected. It it is your responsibility.

A temporary protective order or extended protective order restrains another person from making contact with a specific person including listed locations and conditions. This is in effect, after service, no matter where the person who is protected is at the time. Contact of any kind is prohibited for a specific amount of time.

“Temporary” normally extends for 30 days until a hearing can be held, if requested. The extended order can be granted for a specific period of time (normally one year) and a new hearing can be requested if needed. Again, this is a lawful order and must be rescinded before contact can be resumed.

In Nevada, protective orders do not apply to both parties and the adverse party is held responsible for any violations.
