7. a. If the vulnerable adult’s caretaker or any other person interferes with the provision of protective services, the county adult protective services provider shall petition the court for an order enjoining the caretaker or other person from interfering with the provision of services. Any other party concerned with the welfare of the vulnerable adult may also petition the court for an order enjoining the caretaker or any other person from interfering with the provision of services.
b. The petition shall present facts to show that the vulnerable adult is in need of protective services, and that, although the vulnerable adult or his guardian consents to the receipt of services, the adult’s caretaker or other person has interfered with the provision of services. If the judge finds that the vulnerable adult requires protective services and that the vulnerable adult, or his guardian, consents to the services, and the vulnerable adult has been prevented from receiving the protective services by his caretaker or other person, the judge shall issue an order enjoining the caretaker or other person from further interference.
