FAQ
Once a restraining order is issued, it becomes a matter of public record, accessible to potential employers, landlords, and others conducting background checks. A restraining order may appear on a person's record even if they were never charged with or convicted of a criminal offense.
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.
State to the court that you would like a restraining order and what you would like the court to order. Be as specific as possible. Examples: “I am asking the court to grant me a _____ month/year injunction.” “I want no contact in person, at home, by phone, at work, by mail or through third parties.”
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.
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.
If you want to make extra sure, call the business line of the law enforcement jurisdiction where the fight occurred. Give them your name and date of birth and ask if you have a restraining order. Or, go down to the local law enforcement office with your ID and ask them.
Temporary restraining orders (TROs) are a type of short-term injunction issued to prevent a party from taking a certain action until the court is able to issue a more enduring order, such as a preliminary injunction. TROs are a type of equitable remedy.
A Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) is when a judge orders a party to do or not do something for a specific period of time. Examples of a TRO include: Staying away from and/or having no contact with you, including neighbors, co-workers, friends, family, and landlords or tenants.
