Once you turn in your request, a judge will decide quickly whether to grant temporary protection. The whole process can take a few weeks to months, depending on how complicated your case is. If the judge grants you a long-term restraining order, it can last up to five years.
A Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) is when a judge orders a party to do or not do something for a specific period of time. Examples of a TRO include: Staying away from and/or having no contact with you, including neighbors, co-workers, friends, family, and landlords or tenants.
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.
This standard means that the Court must see photographs, text messages, e-mails or any other physical evidence that can support claims made by the Petitioner. The court will not entertain a simple exchange of allegations. The petitioner must provide specific acts of harassment, threats or physical harm as evidence.
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.
A temporary restraining order may be issued with or without notice, based on a declaration that, to the satisfaction of the court, shows reasonable proof of harassment of the petitioner by the respondent, and that great or irreparable harm would result to the petitioner.
To obtain a TRO, a party must convince the judge that they will suffer immediate irreparable injury unless the order is issued. If the judge is convinced that a temporary restraining order is necessary, they may issue the order immediately, without informing the other parties and without holding a hearing.
