Obtaining a CPO for Bullying

How Can I Obtain a Civil Protection Order for my Child as a Victim of Bullying?

First, a petitioner files a petition detailing the allegations, incidents, and reasons for seeking the order with the appropriate court. Next, the court schedules a hearing to review the petition and hear arguments from the petitioner and respondent. During the hearing, evidence and testimony is presented by the petitioner and the respondent. The court then decides whether the Civil Protection Order should be granted, modified, or denied.

If the court grants the Civil Protection Order, it will issue the legally binding order outlining the protections enforced against the respondent.

The experienced education law attorneys at Maya Murphy, P.C. can assist families seeking a Civil Protection Order against a student that is bullying or harassing their child. If your child is facing a civil protection order after being accused of bullying and harassment, our firm can represent your child in navigating modifying or removing the Civil Protection Order.
