Examples: “I am asking the court to grant me a _____ month/year injunction.” “I want no contact in person, at home, by phone, at work, by mail or through third parties.” “I would consider any contact in the future to be a violation.” Tell the court why you would like the temporary restraining order injunction.
You must be clear and detailed. At the same time, you need to stay on topic, because the judge does not have a lot of time to read the declaration. You should describe the abuse in detail:Describe all abuse, either toward you or another person you want protected.
Ex parte means that the abuser does not have to be present or given notice of the hearing. This is a preliminary hearing where the judge can grant you a temporary restraining order for 10 days.
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. The plaintiff will be directed to go to the clerks counter to wait for the order.
``What would make a judge deny a restraining order?'' The reason most restraining orders that go to hearing are denied is due to insufficient facts/evidence in support of the request. Many people don't realize the importance of their declaration and think that they'll get to add more at the hearing.
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.
