Understanding Complexities of OFP Defense

What exactly is an Order for Protection (OFP)?

An OFP is a Minnesota court mandate that restricts your ability to engage with or be near the petitioner. The aim is to prevent any possible harm, with violations turning otherwise innocent actions into punishable offenses.

What grounds are needed for an OFP?

A petitioner must demonstrate a familial or household relationship and provide evidence of domestic abuse, which includes threats, physical harm, and other forms of coercion.

How does an OFP affect my firearm rights in Minnesota?

An OFP restricts your right to possess firearms, under both state and federal law. Understanding these implications is essential for compliance and protecting your interests.

What should I do if I am served with an OFP?

Immediate action is critical. You have 20 days to request a hearing. Consulting with an experienced attorney can help safeguard your rights and prepare you for the next steps.

What is the duration of an OFP, and what happens if it's violated?

Most OFPs last for two years, with the potential for extension based on judicial discretion. Violations are serious, potentially enhancing punishments for future offenses.
