RESTRAINING ORDER - Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) - A TRO is a short-term court order, issued without a full hearing, to prevent someone from taking specific actions or contacting someone else, often used in urgent situations involving potential harm or harassment.
TROs are typically valid for a limited time, usually 20 to 25 days, until a hearing can be held to determine whether a longer-term restraining order is needed.
A judge can issue a TRO without notifying the other party involved, if the person seeking the order can demonstrate that they are facing an immediate threat.
A TRO can require the restrained person to stop specific actions, such as contacting the protected person, stalking them, or coming within a certain distance of their home or workplace.
TROs can be used in various situations, including domestic violence cases, civil harassment cases, and cases involving the protection of property or business secrets.
To obtain a TRO, the person seeking protection must file a request with the court, providing evidence to support the claim of immediate danger or harm.
Does not include any filing fees or court costs.
