New Jersey Restraining Order Lawyers

A restraining order, also known as an order of protection, is a Court order against an individual, which requires them to do or to desist or abstain from doing certain acts. Restraining orders can last from several days to several years, to the rest of someone’s life. Restraining orders typically include criminal penalties if the restrained individual violates the Court order. Restraining orders are most typical in allegations of domestic violence, stalking and abuse cases.

Court Injunctions

Restraining orders can consist of a variety of court injunctions such as:

  • Stay Away
  • No Contact
  • Cease Abuse
  • Support
  • Restitution
  • Exclusive Use

Other provisions a Court can place on a restraining order can include surrender of firearms and mandatory therapy or drug counseling.  In addition, the restraining order can protect other people, such as friends, family members or children.
