Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) A Domestic Violence Restraining Order is one of the most common types of restraining orders.
The standard test for the order can be sought is whether or not there is evidence of harassment or risk of violence (or further violence) against a victim. You can get a restraining order against someone if the person has: Abused (or threatened to abuse you) Sexually assaulted you.
Once you turn in your request, a judge will decide quickly whether to grant temporary protection. The whole process can take a few weeks to months, depending on how complicated your case is. If the judge grants you a long-term restraining order, it can last up to five years.
The best way to win in a domestic violence restraining order case is to provide strong evidence that the petitioner is not being truthful. In these types of cases, the courts tend to side with the supposed victim of domestic violence, especially if other family members are in danger.
A significant change in circumstances, such as improved behavior, completion of anger management or counseling programs, or evidence that the risk of violence has diminished, may provide grounds for seeking the dismissal of a restraining order.
