How Long Will a Temporary Order Last? An Ex-parte Protectiveemporary Order will last up to 30 days or until your court hearing. If your court hearing is held in another county or is delayed, the Order can be extended, but this often requires agreement by both parties.
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.
Family violence protective orders may include several legal remedies designed to protect the petitioner. One such remedy is a “no-contact” order. In simple terms, a no-contact order prohibits the respondent–the person accused of domestic violence–from having any contact with the petitioner.
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.
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.
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.
I beg your honor to please consider my sincere plea to remove the no contact order. You are the one who has the ability to give us, as a family, a second opportunity.
Go to the courthouse in your county or the county where the abuser lives. Find the office of the Clerk of Court. Tell them that you are there to file a petition for a temporary and permanent protection order.
