Hearing on Restraining Order

Quick Facts

Restraining orders require personal service and notice of time and place of the hearing.
Restraining order goes into effect until hearing affirms or dismisses the restraint.

Restraining orders must be personally served upon the person to be restrained and accompanied with a notice of the time and place of hearing for disposition of the matters contained in the restraining order at a hearing for a temporary order.

When a restraining order has been issued, a hearing on the temporary order will be held. The restrained spouse may request a hearing date to a time earlier than that scheduled by the other spouse. The restraining order continues in full force and effect only until the hearing time noticed, unless the court for good cause extends the time for hearing.
