A restraining order (also known as a protective order) is a legal document issued by a court that restricts an individual from contacting, approaching, or harming another person. These orders are designed to prevent further abuse or threats and provide a clear legal boundary for your protection.
Emergency Protective Order (EPO)
Requested by law enforcement when immediate protection is needed. Issued 24/7 and typically lasts up to 7 days.
Temporary Restraining Order (TRO)
Issued before a full court hearing, offering protection for about 20–25 days until a judge decides whether to issue a longer-term order.
Permanent Restraining Order
Granted after a court hearing and may last up to five years (or longer in some cases). Provides lasting legal protection.
You may qualify for a restraining order if you’ve experienced:
Physical abuse or threats of violence
Harassment, stalking, or cyberstalking
Sexual assault or unwanted advances
Psychological or emotional abuse
Unwanted contact or communication
You must show the court that you have reason to fear for your safety or have suffered harm due to another person’s behavior.
