5101.68 Temporary restraining order to restrain person from interfering with provision of protective services.

(A) If an adult has consented to the provision of protective services but any other person refuses to allow such provision, the county department of human services may petition the court for a temporary restraining order to restrain the person from interfering with the provision of protective services for the adult.

(B) The petition shall state specific facts sufficient to demonstrate the need for protective services, the consent of the adult, and the refusal of some other person to allow the provision of these services.

(C) Notice of the petition shall be given in language reasonably understandable to the person alleged to be interfering with the provision of services.

(D) The court shall hold a hearing on the petition within fourteen days after its filing.
