§ 550. Temporary order of protection.
(a) Upon the filing of a
petition or counter-claim under this article, the court for good cause
shown may issue a temporary order of protection which may contain any of
the provisions authorized on the making of an order of protection under
section five hundred fifty-one.
(b) A temporary order of protection is not a finding of wrongdoing.
(c) The court may issue or extend a temporary order of protection ex
parte or on notice simultaneously with the issuance of a warrant
directing that the respondent be arrested and brought before the court
pursuant to section five hundred twenty-six of this article.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, an order of protection, or
temporary order of protection where applicable, may be entered against a
former spouse and persons who have a child in common, regardless of
whether such persons have been married or have lived together at any
time, or against a member of the same family or household as defined in
subdivision one of section eight hundred twelve of this act.
