How A Restraining Order Works

An ex parte temporary restraining order can be obtained from a court within 24 hours after the receipt and approval of an application. We can help you apply for the order and collect the evidence you need against your abuser to use at the restraining order hearing. If your children are victims of physical abuse, it is crucial that you seek the protection provided by the law. We are experienced at helping parents and their children who are victims of domestic abuse. Restraining orders may include temporary child custody or visitation orders.

Sometimes, an applicant may obtain a temporary ex parte restraining order by misrepresenting the facts behind an alleged incident. In such a case, our attorneys are experienced in representing the unfairly accused and in getting the restraining order vacated.
