Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) A Domestic Violence Restraining Order is one of the most common types of restraining orders.
Requirements for a protective order for domestic violence to be issued include establishing that family violence has occurred and is likely to occur again without such an order. The burden of proof for this involves what's known as a “preponderance of evidence” favoring the accuser.
You can ask the judge for a TRO by filing a Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, Temporary Injunction, and Temporary Orders. You must also file an affidavit or statement made under penalty of perjury that explains why the TRO is necessary and why you cannot wait for the temporary orders hearing.
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.
