☀️ Our first ever Summer Food Program was a success!

When school is out, grocery bills often go up. But we’re grateful that we were able to provide some of our client families with pantry staples, fresh essentials like eggs and milk, and fun kid-friendly favorites to make summer a little easier.

We know supporting families goes beyond the courtroom— and we’re glad to meet practical needs along the way.

Today's question: What's the difference between a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), Emergency Protective Order (EPO), and final Protective Order (PO)?

TRO- short-term order stating the do's and don't's while a family law case is pending.
EPO- orders filed after a family violence incident with criminal implications if violated.
PO- long-term protection from family violence.

If you need a protective order from domestic violence, call us at 817-339-2407.
