Section 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.
