Some parties indeed use this as a ploy to keep one parent from having visitation of the children. It this Justice, Truth or the American Way? It reminds me of the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY…

A protection order can be a GOOD thing, if indeed it is issued for the right reason.

A protection order can be a BAD thing, if it is just a tool for one party to abuse the system with and to keep children from seeing another party.

A protection order can be an UGLY thing, when it is abused by people who did not need one in the beginning and those who really need one can not get one because of the people who abused the system.

A Protection Order should be issued only when the person has proof that one is needed.
