Ramifications of an order of protection
What effects will an order of protection have on the respondent? In the order, it states that they need counseling and to be prohibited from owning,possessing, using,etc. firearms and that they were once hospitalized in a psych ward for anger issues. Specifically, will this prohibit the respondent from being able to gain employment and /or keep him in the state in which the order was done?

Re: Ramifications of an order of protection
In general, court orders are difficult to find. Even with a docket number, a person needs to go searching through a case file. A future employer is unlikely to find the Protective Order on its own. However, some employers list on employment applications whether the applicant has any outstanding protective orders against him. Those are red flag questions that will require some explanation. For many jobs, that question will not appear on an employment application.
