A petition for a restraining order must normally be filed in the same county where the defendant lives, because the court must have personal jurisdiction over the defendant.
No. A landlord can APPLY for a restraining order on a tenant, but the Sheriff, Court Officer, or Process Server will perform the actual service on the renter.
To obtain a restraining order you go to the county court for the county you live in. You must provide a vail reason to a judge as to why you need a restraining order. It is possible to have a restraining order for someone out of states but it is difficult to serve them the order so they are not always properly initiated.
It is not up to the person who takes out the order to serve it. That is done by a court server. If the person being served can not be found, the order can not be served.

Best way is through your lawyer, or by the courts served by an officer of the court.
You will probably serve time in juvenile detention center.
It may differ depending on the jurisdiction or court system, or even the circumstance, but it is customarily the responsibility of the Sheriff's Office to serve court orders.
If charged with a new crime while already on felony probation the likliehood is 100% that you will be 'violated' and returned to jail/prison, not only to serve the remainder of your sentence while incarcerated, but also to await prosecution for the new offense.
you have to serve someone a restraining order for 1 weekAnother View: "YOU" don't serve the individual - the Sheriff's Office or a court officer serves them. If they purposely avoid the service of the order it may prove problematic because, legally, they cannot be held in contempt of the order if it cannot be proven that it was served on them.HOWEVER- you can bet that SOMEONE knows where they are or where they work - call the Sheriffs Office and let them know. OR - or if they show up wherever you are, call law enforcement and when they arrive advise them that there is an outstanding un-served court order for this person. They will take care of having it served on them.
Through your attorney, the sheriff's department or a process server. wow a restraining order?! that's pretty harsh. well if your spouse was like really violent or somethin. Mail?
Not a good idea. If the individual trying to serve you was unable to do so the first time around it is unlikely that they will just give up. It is true that they have to serve you however there are many ways to serve an individual (home, work, substitute) and they will likely find a way or the court will allow them to serve you by mail or some other form.
"You," as an individual, don't serve the other party nor do you have any say-so in the matter. If the order was issued by the court it is then forwarded to the Sheriff's Office for service.Most (all?) states have a certain time period (statute of limitations) during which court orders remain valid. If the original order was never served on the individual (for whatever reason), then there is no legal restraint upon their actions.You must check with your local court or sheriff's office to determine the statute in your particular state.The second part of your question hinges on the answer to your finding out this information.However - from the information disclosed in the question (i.e.: you voluntarily continued to live with the person) it is in serious doubt that it would be applicable.
