The law
offers the protection of Family Abuse Protection Act (FAPA) orders to victims
of domestic violence, whether or not a victim has reported the abuse to the
police. An FAPA order is free and a victim does not need an attorney to get
one, although an attorney is recommended if an abuser contests the order.
FAPA orders
are available in every county in Oregon. Once issued, an FAPA order is effective
for one year unless the court terminates or extends the order.
