Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) A temporary restraining order lasts between 20 to 25 days. It is issued when the judge believes you are in immediate danger and you need protection before the court rules hears your case.

If you believe the protection order was granted improperly or that it is no longer needed, you can file a motion asking the court to “dissolve” (terminate or cancel) the protection order. After you file the motion, the court will decide whether or not to schedule a hearing.

A: A permanent restraining order is on your public record and will remain there. Sealing a record or expunging charges is only available for criminal charges, and restraining orders are usually part of civil records.

) you have to file a request in court before date that the Restraining Order expires. You can do this if you are the person protected by the order or the person restrained by the order.

This standard means that the Court must see photographs, text messages, e-mails or any other physical evidence that can support claims made by the Petitioner. The court will not entertain a simple exchange of allegations. The petitioner must provide specific acts of harassment, threats or physical harm as evidence.

That means that on that date, your order will end and you will no longer be protected by it. If you are still concerned for your safety or want your restraining order to stay in place, you have to “renew” it, which makes it last longer and gives it a new end date.

If the restrained person wasn't served, fill out a Request to Continue Court Hearing and Reissue Temporary Restraining Order (Form DV-115 ) and a Notice of New Hearing and Order on Reissuance (Form DV-116 ) to ask the judge for a new hearing date. Do this before or at your hearing.

Does A Restraining Order Show Up In A Record Check? Yes, in most situations. Most restraining orders are "CLETS Orders". This means they are entered into the California criminal database, known as CLETS, "California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System", often called a "rap sheet".
