No, but violations of such do. A restraining order is a civil order.
Depends on the reason for the restraining order but I don't think, considering its temporary for whatever reason, it would count as a criminal offense.
Unless the Court orders the record expunged (destroyed), it is still a part of public record.
No. Restraining orders regardless of their status are available only as "need to know" status. Such as the parties involved, police agencies, a legal rep. of one of the parties, etc...
If it was only a CIVIL COURT restraining order, it will not appear on your criminal record. HOWEVER, if there was any criminal action associated with it, or which was the cause for it being issued, (e.g.: domestic battery), THAT is a criminal matter and it WILL appear on your criminal record.
If no criminal charges accompanied the incident that brought about the restraining order, there will be no record of it on your criminal history. However, if there was a criminal incident connected with it (e.g.: assault or battery - etc), THAT offense will remain on your adult criminal history record.
Each state enacts laws pertaining to such issues. In some jurisdictions the entry will remain until it (ORS, NCO, DVPO, WPO etc.) is vacated by the court. Restraining orders are not usually not open public records and are available to "those persons with need to know" and at the discretion of the issuing judge. My understanding is a restraining order has to be renewed every three years?or less according to the Judge that made the order. Check with your local court recorders office or your local family law facilitator.
The process for expungement varies by jurisdiction, but generally speaking, restraining orders are not typically eligible for expungement as they are civil matters rather than criminal convictions. However, it is best to consult with an attorney who specializes in expungement laws in your specific jurisdiction to determine if any options are available.
In almost all cases a restraining order is a publicly available court record. The ease with with the restraining order could be discovered depends on the level of public access available in the court where the order was issued.
Restraining orders become a part of public records if they are not issued in direct conjuction with a crime such as sexual assault, rape, where state law provides protection for the survivor of such an assault.
ALL court proceedings EVERYWHERE are public record.Added: With the exception of some juvenile courts, and some records that are specifically ordered sealed.
Anyone that is threatening, endangering or disrupting your life. * Someone that admires you from afar, but is stalking you (they are everywhere you are) * An ex boyfriend or ex husband that is stalking, threatening you or your family, friends or a coworker or even a boss you may work for * An ex or even an admirer that abuses you verbally by phone, email, etc. * A person who has verbally or physically abused you and still threatens you * Someone that is lying about you and causing you to lose your reputation which could affect where you work or cause you 'undue stress.' There are many other reasons, but those are the most common ones.
Effect somone HOW? As long as the orders provisions are followed and adhered to you should have no problem. All the ones I have been familiar with are quite clear in what you can and can't do ,and where you can and can't go, in the distance you must keep away from the individual, restrictions on contact, etc, etc)
