7.16.090 Relief.
Upon notice and after hearing, the Court may provide relief as follows:
(a) Restrain a party from committing acts of domestic violence or harassment;
(b) Exclude the respondent from the dwelling which the parties share or from the residence of the petitioner;
(c) Make residential provisions with regard to minor children of the parties, including award temporary custody, establish visitation schedules, and restrain any interference with child custody or removal from the jurisdiction of the Court, and order the party not granted custody to pay temporary support to the petitioner if the perpetrator has a legal obligation to do so;
(d) Restrain any party from making any attempts to contact the petitioner;
(e) Restrain the respondent from stalking the petitioner or making any attempt to keep the petitioner under surveillance;
(f) Require the respondent to stay a stated distance from the petitioner, including both residence and place of employment, school, or place where livelihood is earned;
(g) Order the respondent to receive substance abuse evaluations, attend treatment, seek mental health assessment, attend counseling, anger management, or other programs, to include parenting classes if needed, or to not possess or consume alcohol or other substances;
(h) Order such relief as it deems necessary for the protection of the petitioner, including orders or directives to a peace officer;
(i) Require the respondent to pay the filing fee, Court costs, service fees, and other costs including reimbursement to the petitioner and law enforcement for costs incurred in bringing the action, including a reasonable attorney’s fee and a $50.00 fee for the crime victim fund. If the Court has waived the filing fee and costs including service fees, because of the petitioner’s limited financial means, the Court may require the respondent to pay them directly to the Court;
Any relief granted by the order for protection, other than a judgment for costs, shall be for a fixed period not to exceed one year, which period may be renewed for one year upon motion and sworn statement of facts filed by the petitioner.
In providing relief under this section, the Court may realign the designation of the parties as “petitioner” and “respondent” where the Court finds that the original petitioner is the abuser and the original respondent is the victim of domestic violence.
