Four Corners of the Protection Order

Everything you intend to address in court at a protection order hearing has to be listed within the four corners of the protection order; if you go outside of what you wrote, the court will not let you go into it.

What Right Law Group attorneys say

basically a mini trial so the person the petitioner or the person who's requesting a protection order to enter will have to tell the magistrate all the reasons why they want to have a protection order issued they have to make sure that anything that they are trying to bring into court is actually already listed in the protection order so this is where we see people doing protection orders wrong quite a bit you have to contain everything you want within the four corners of the protection order hypothetically like you can add extra pages if you need to but everything that you're going to address in court has to be listed in that protection order if you go outside of what you wrote the the court isn't going to let you go into that
