FAQ
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.
Restraining Orders Step 1: File a petition. Step 2: Carefully fill out the forms. Step 3: The judge will review your petition. Step 4: Service of process. Step 5: The hearing for the permanent protection order.
If you are the custodial parent, guardian, or legal custodian of the minor against whom you are trying to file, you cannot file a petition for civil protection against the minor.
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.
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.
Focus on what the crime means to you physically, emotionally, financially and spiritually. Write and speak from the heart about your pain. Don't repeat evidence presented in the trial. Ideally, the statement should take no longer than 10 minutes to read.
The judge will expect you to testify only about what you wrote in your petition. Make sure you know exactly what you wrote. You can't talk about anything that is not talked about in your petition. Is your abuser trying to bother or contact you in any way?
Detail what the respondent did, for example: hit, strangled, slapped, punched, kicked, broke or disconnected the phone, and any other abuse/behavior that occurred. If you include threats, state what the abuser said as close to word for word as you can.
