Temporary Restraining Order

A court order banning certain actions. In Family Law, it is often used in cases of domestic violence. The order forbids one person from harassing, harming, or even contacting another person. The person being harmed must request the temporary restraining order from a judge. After the temporary restraining order has been issued, the court holds a second hearing to hear the other person’s side of the story. The court will then decide if the order should be made permanent.
