A temporary order of protection is issued on the day you file for an order of protection before the respondent is served with the papers. It only lasts until the next time that you are in court. The court usually will extend the temporary order at each court date until the case is over.

New York Restraining Orders Disorderly conduct. Harassment (1st degree, 2nd degree) Aggravated harassment (2nd degree) Stalking (1st degree, 2nd degree, 3rd degree, 4th degree) Menacing (2nd degree, 3rd degree) Reckless endangerment (1st degree, 2nd degree) Assault (2nd degree, 3rd degree) Attempted assault.
In other instances a temporary restraining order may last for 6 months, or until the case is resolved. A permanent order of protection is not actually permanent. The New York Family Court Act allows for permanent orders of protection for up to 2 years.
An order of protection can order someone not to injure, threaten or harass you, your family, or any other people listed in the order. For example, it can order someone to: have no contact with you, your family, household members, or your children, regardless of their age (see: Melanie's Law) move out of your home.
