Reasons for a Court Order

Typically issued in cases involving domestic violence or other situations where there is possible reason to expect violence, a restraining order can be issued without any input or opportunity to be heard. If a person has had two incidents of violence or stalking, one of which must have occurred within the previous six months, a restraining order for repeat violence can be issued.
