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.
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.
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.
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 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.
