FAQ
A temporary restraining order, commonly known as a TRO is used in family law to place injunctions without a full hearing on one or both parties. These injunctions prohibit specific actions that could endanger or prove damaging to the property in a divorce or the children of a divorce.
Normally a TRO lasts for 14 days unless the court decides to dissolve or extend it. A notice for a hearing must be contained in the TRO and the hearing must take place within the 14 days after the TRO is granted.
Temporary restraining orders usually last between 20 and 25 days, until the court hearing date. When you go to court for the hearing that was scheduled for your TRO, the judge may issue a permanent restraining order. They are not really permanent because they usually last up to 5 years.
A temporary restraining order (TRO) is a legal document issued by a judge before trial that forces or prevents an action for a specified time frame. During court cases that involve trademark infringement or the use of a trade secret, a TRO can halt patent, copyright, or trademark infringement in the short term.
