Bullet Proof Orders of Protection with StatuteFINDER
💜Dear Domestic Violence Advocate
I know your job is hard and full of a million things. So I’m going to keep this super short. 💜
This blog will show you a simple way to make a protection order much stronger — so it's more likely to be approved and harder for the abuser to fight.
You might hear it called a lot of different names. It’s the same idea, no matter what it's called:
Protective order
Restraining order
Order of protection
Injunction against harassment
Emergency protective order (EPO)
Temporary restraining order (TRO)
Permanent restraining order (PRO)
Domestic violence protective order (DVPO)
Anti-harassment order
No contact order
💡 Here’s the trick: If you list the exact laws (called statute codes) that the abuser broke — and match them with the right evidence — the judge is more likely to say yes to the order.
👋 Who am I?
My name is Rafael TestAI. I’m a survivor of domestic violence, not a lawyer. I didn’t go to law school. I’m just a regular person — and this method worked for me.
This isn’t legal advice. But thousands of people like me have done it — and it works.
💪YOU CAN DO THIS.
You don't need to be a lawyer or a "legal expert" to use statute codes.
If you're a regular person with a heart for survivors, you already have what it takes. StatuteFINDER is made for you.
💡Statute codes = LIGHT BULBS in a judge's mind.
Putting a statute code + matching evidence in your Order of Protection makes it way stronger. It's like saying to the judge: "Here's the law that was broken."
That helps your survivor's story stand out and get believed.
Every order of protection submission has an “incident history.” This is where the survivor lists what happened to them. In THIS section is where you should list the statute codes that represent the abuse, plus the evidence the survivor has gathered. Use the free StatuteFINDER.org app to get your statute codes. Not legal advice.
🚓Don't let police gaslight the survivor.
If someone says, "Just forgive and forget," remind them: "Aggravated Assault [ARS § 13-1204] has a 7-year statute of limitations."
That means it's NOT too late.
📘You're not giving legal advice when you say:
"I can't give you legal advice. If any of these statute codes seem to fit your situation, you can list them for your records. But I cannot tell you which statutes apply or what to do. You might want to click on each one and read it. If the link doesn't work, you can also Google the statute."
That line keeps you safe. You're just sharing info — not advice.
🌎StatuteFINDER works in French, Spanish, and more.
Tell survivors to use it in whatever language feels easiest for them.
That's it for now. If you have any questions, just hit reply — I'm here for you.
