WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors.
If you asked law enforcement to file for the extreme risk protection order, you can ask them to notify you before they return the respondent’s gun. You or the judge can also ask law enforcement to notify any “interested party,” such as the respondent’s family or someone s/he lives with.1
