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.
The injunction is something ordered by the judge that can either be permanent or for a specific period of time. The restraining order usually only happens at the beginning of the case, once the person is served with a temporary restraining order and that will only last until the injunction hearing.
Generally, temporary restraining orders will expire on the date set by the court. Such date should not exceed 10 days unless the court has good cause for an extension or where the opposing party consents to the extension.

Permanent protective order - These orders are issued after the court has gone through all the legal proceedings and reviewed all evidence. Permanent protective orders can be life-long standing orders that the accused person must obey.
