FAQ
An injunction or temporary restraining order is an order from the court prohibiting a party from performing or ordering a specified act, either temporarily or permanently.
To cover those situations in which notice cannot be reasonably given, Rule 65 provides for temporary restraining orders (or TROs), A temporary restraining order is like a preliminary injunction but, if it is issued without notice to the adverse party, its duration is limited to ten days.
A temporary ex parte order is a court order designed to provide you and your family members with immediate protection from the abuser. You can get a temporary ex parte order without the abuser present in court.
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 temporary restraining order serves to provide emergency relief and to preserve the status quo until a hearing may be had on a temporary injunction. The purpose of a temporary injunction is to preserve the status quo pending a full trial on the merits.
No temporary injunction shall be issued without notice to the adverse party. No writ of injunction shall be granted unless the applicant therefor shall present his petition to the judge verified by his affidavit and containing a plain and intelligible statement of the grounds for such relief.
Injunctions may preserve and safeguard assets or evidence, or may restrain people from committing certain acts. Mandatory orders require the other party to perform certain acts such as returning property.
