Hear this out loud PauseAn Order of Protection (also known as a restraining order) is a document issued by a court and signed by a judge to help protect you from harassment or abuse. It restricts someone who has abused a family/household member, spouse or partner in a dating relationship.
Hear this out loud PauseConsult an attorney. Asking the court to change or terminate an order it has issued to protect a victim of domestic violence isn't a simple or easy thing. Because judges often are predisposed against dropping a no-contact order, having an attorney on your side can ensure the best arguments are made.
Hear this out loud PauseA domestic violence protective order remains in effect until 1 of 3 things happen: (1) the charges are dropped by the prosecutor (called a nolle), (2) the charges are dismissed by the Court at trial; or (3) the court grants a motion for modification of the protective order prior to the conclusion of your case.
Hear this out loud PauseYou risk arrest for violating the restraining order if you go there by yourself, even using the civil standby process. Using a civil standby makes you vulnerable to more misdemeanor criminal charges.
You can file an opposition to the application or a motion asking the court to dissolve or modify the order, or you can appeal from the court's grant of an extended protection order.
If you have been granted a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) by a Family Court judge or a District Court judge, the Court has ordered your abuser (the respondent of the TRO) to abide by the conditions set out in the TRO. Violating a court order is called contempt of court and is a misdemeanor criminal offense.
A judge will hear all of the evidence and decide whether to extend your TRO beyond 180 days. If the judge believes that a final order of protection should be issued, s/he will grant you an order that can last for as long as s/he determines is necessary (usually up to 3 years). You must go to the hearing.
Temporary Restraining Order/TRO If someone you know is engaging in a pattern of harassment or abuse (including physical abuse or sexual abuse, verbal threats, property damage or stalking), you can seek protection by filing a petition and obtaining a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the perpetrator.
