Is An Order Of Protection (PPO) Or A Restraining Order Automatically Put Into Place When Charges Related To Domestic Violence Are Filed In Michigan?

If someone is charged with domestic violence, there is no automatic restraining order or protection order for the complainant, or victim. The defendant is normally arraigned at the court, where bond conditions are set. The court will set what’s called a No Contact Order, which means the defendant cannot have any contact with the complainant. However, the complainant can always go into court and ask for contact or for limited contact (for instance, for the purposes of trying to deal with Friend of the Court issues for a child they have in common, or some other matter). The amount of contact allowed will be subjective with the court.
