A temporary order can last up to 45 days or until your hearing for the extended order.
At the hearing, you must prove that the abuser has committed an act(s) of domestic violence (as defined by the law). You must also convince a judge that you need the protection and the specific things you asked for in the petition.
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.
After an order is issued, options for dissolving (terminating) or changing the order are limited. An appeal or a petition requesting dissolution or modification are the only alternatives. If an extended order of protection is issued, the case may be appealed to district court within a limited time.
A restraining or protective order is issued for harassment, domestic abuse, stalking, sexual assault, or emotional abuse. The court can also grant a permanent restraining order when an imminent danger exists. A permanent restraining order can last up to five years.
The restraining order itself has an expiration date. So if you have a copy of the order you would know. If you do not have a copy then you can go to the courthouse where the case is being handled and ask to look at the court file or ask to get a copy of the order.
In California, either party can appeal a judge's decision to grant or deny a restraining order. In filing an appeal, you are asking a higher court to review the court's ruling.
