FAQ
In most cases, you must have evidence to convince the judge that the person seeking a restraining order is in danger of harm. The danger or harm can include domestic violence, threats, criminal trespass, stalking, and harassment. An adult can file for a restraining order when they believe their safety is in danger.
If the judge decides that there was abuse and that there is also a credible threat to the plaintiff's safety, a final order of protection will be granted and will last for up to one year.
The specific elements you need to prove to get a restraining order vary from state to state, but in general, you need to show: A specific instance or instances of abuse or harassment (such as sexual assault by an intimate partner) The threat of violence or of further abusive behavior or harassment.
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.
Can I get an order of protection against a minor? Where the abuser is a minor, you need to petition the court naming the minor as the defendant. You cannot name the minor's parent, guardian or the person who has legal custody as the defendant.
After the hearing, a judge can issue a protective order that lasts up to 18 months, and can later be renewed after a hearing in front of a judge. The parts of the protective order that tell the abuser to not abuse, harass, or interfere with you can last forever.
Rule 34 - Jurisdiction (a) Superior Court Jurisdiction. The superior court has exclusive jurisdiction to issue a protective order when a family law action is pending between the parties. A limited jurisdiction court must refer a plaintiff who has a pending family law action to the superior court.
