Restraining Order Attorneys in New Jersey
A Final Restraining Order in New Jersey has serious and lasting consequences. Whether you are seeking protection or defending against an order, the outcome of the hearing can affect your housing, your custody arrangement, your employment and your right to possess firearms.
How the Process Works
A Temporary Restraining Order can be granted the same day it is applied for, often without the other party present. A Final Restraining Order hearing is typically scheduled within about ten days, though the actual date depends on the county and the court's calendar. At that hearing both parties have the right to present evidence and testimony. Unlike most states, a New Jersey Final Restraining Order does not expire on its own. It remains in effect unless a court modifies or dissolves it.
