What is this form?
The Motion to Dissolve Temporary Restraining Order is a legal document used by a respondent to request the annulment of a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued against them. This form serves to challenge the legality of the TRO on various grounds, including the absence of an expiration date, lack of a valid legal basis, and detrimental effects on a child involved.

FAQ
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.
A temporary protection order lasts 15 days, or until the full hearing for your extended protection order. Extended protection orders are issued after a full court hearing where both sides have the opportunity to appear in court.
An injunction is a court order requiring a person to do or cease doing a specific action. There are three types of injunctions: Permanent injunctions, Temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions. Temporary restraining orders (TRO) and preliminary injunctions are equitable in nature.
What is a preliminary injunction? A preliminary injunction is temporary relief that preserves the status quo until the courts decide on the merits of the case. The relief sought often involves asking a court to prevent an opposing party from taking specific action or continuing a current course of action.
Specifically, Rule 69.04 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure provides that: Within ten years from the entry of a judgment, the creditor whose judgment remains unsatisfied may file a motion to extend the judgment for another ten years.
How do I drop an Order of Protection? Once filed, an Order of Protection can ONLY be dropped after the Respondent is served. You will need to go the Order of Protection office to file a Request to Cancel. You will be given a court date and you must both go to court.
RULE 65. Injunctive relief may be obtained by (1) restraining order, (2) temporary injunction, or (3) permanent injunction in a final judgment. A restraining order shall only restrict the doing of an act. An injunction may restrict or mandatorily direct the doing of an act.
