N.Y. Family Court Act § 550: Temporary order of protection

§ 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

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.
