In Oregon, the Family Abuse Prevention Act (FAPA) provides for a means to have the court issue an order of protection against abuse for certain parties within a family setting. This is also referred to as a "restraining order", and it generally prohibits the person who is the subject of the order (the “respondent") from taking certain actions against the person obtaining the protective order (the “petitioner").
