FAQ

Lack of Jurisdiction The respondent can argue that the court does not have jurisdiction to issue a restraining order. This defense can be raised, for instance, if the alleged incidents of domestic violence or harassment did not occur within the jurisdiction of the court.

The specific elements you need to prove to get a restraining order vary from state to state, but in general, you need to show: A specific instance or instances of abuse or harassment (such as sexual assault by an intimate partner) The threat of violence or of further abusive behavior or harassment.

Using the facts of the incident only, keep your statement brief and to the point. Briefly describe the most recent incident of abuse and/or threats of abuse or other behaviors. Focus on the actual behavior. Do not include prior incidents, (that will be the next paragraph).

Step 1: File an application in court. Step 2: Fill out the petition. Step 3: A judge will consider your application. Step 4: Service of process. Step 5: The hearing for an extended order.

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.

You must file your application in the justice court for the township where the stalking, aggravated stalking, or harassment took place. Stalking or harassment is committed "where the conduct occurred" or "where the person who was affected by the conduct was located at the time that the conduct occurred." (NRS 200.581.)

At the hearing, you must prove that the abuser has committed an act(s) of domestic violence (as defined by the law). You must also convince a judge that you need the protection and the specific things you asked for in the petition.
