Understanding Restraining Orders
Restraining orders, also known as protective orders, are court-issued legal documents designed to protect individuals from harm or harassment. They provide legal protection by limiting contact and prohibiting specific actions by the person against whom the order is filed. In New Jersey, several types of restraining orders exist to cater to different situations.
Temporary Restraining Order (TRO)
A Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) is the initial step in obtaining a restraining order in New Jersey. It is typically issued by a judge to provide immediate protection to an individual who is in immediate danger. The TRO is effective for a short period, usually until a final hearing can be held to determine whether a final restraining order should be granted.
Final Restraining Order (FRO)
A Final Restraining Order (FRO) is a more permanent form of protection issued after a final hearing takes place. To obtain an FRO, the petitioner must present evidence to prove that they are a victim of domestic violence or have been subjected to harassment or threats. Once issued, an FRO offers long-term safety by prohibiting the respondent from contacting or approaching the petitioner.
Domestic Violence Restraining Order
In cases involving domestic violence, a Domestic Violence Restraining Order can be sought. Domestic violence restraining orders are specifically reserved for individuals who are or have been in a domestic relationship, including spouses, former spouses, dating partners, household members, or individuals with a child in common. These orders provide specialized protection tailored to the unique dynamics of domestic violence situations.
Civil Restraining Order
Civil Restraining Orders are available to individuals who are not involved in a domestic relationship but are facing harassment, stalking, or threats from an individual. These orders can be obtained by any individual who can demonstrate that they require legal protection from someone who poses a risk to their safety or well-being.
