If you dont want to hire a lawyer, start by asking at your local public library. (no joke) If they are not made public record in your state you will need to obtain a court order from a judge, and they are not easily given.
Go to the office of the Clerk of the Court and inquire about that particular individual by name. Records of court proceedings are public records and they should be able to answer your question.
Well it depends on if your child is of legal age or not. If he/she isn't of legal age you can call the police station they would either direct you to an admin in a law/court office or they would have it on file. If your child is of legal age, then they are considered an adult and you may not be entitled to that information.
Go to the courthouse where the injunction was filed.
A restraining order against James M. Fyfe for Hunter B. Fyfe
You have to help your child. Find a self-help group. At the moment you are probably feeling very alone but you are not the only person this has happened to.
If somebody has a restraining order against you, don't expect them to lift it at all. They can, at any time, but if you were doing something stupid or bad enough to them that they had to get the order against you, then you need to back off and find some new friends. Consider them out of your life for good; they wouldn't have the order if they wanted anything to do with you.
The easiest way is to break the restraining order...then you will know.... Depending on the state you have to be served the restraining order. If you think you might have one, it is best just to assume you do have one and avoid breaking it...
Yes. Fill it out at your court clerks office and it will be served on them before they get out. That way it will be illegal for them to contact you upon release. If you are the victim, and the reason they are in jail, then most states have a victim liaison at the court. Ask you court clerk to have them help you.
There are different types of restraining orders. Some have certain clauses in them that stipulate IF and WHEN a person is allowed to come to your home.. For example, in custody cases where there are children involved, the recipient of the restraining order may be allowed to come to the address on specific dates or times to pick up the child. IF the restraining order SPECIFIES THAT THE PERSON IS NOT ALLOWED TO COME WITHIN ____ AMOUNT OF FEET/YARDS. then that INCLUDES YOUR HOME, WORK, and ANYWHERE YOU ARE! You could be at a RESTAURANT and if the person that the restraining order is against shows up without knowing you are there, THEY HAVE TO LEAVE THE PREMISES. The restraining order should specify the PLACES the person is not allowed to be, INCLUDING your address. That should be right on the order. IF the person COMES TO YOUR HOUSE you MUST CALL THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY, because it is a felony to disobey a restraining order. Also, if you don't follow the restraining order and you allow the person to visit, the judge probably won't take you seriously when you file for an extension if the other person can prove that you have been calling THEM, contacting THEM, etc. YOU may find yourself with a restraining order and THAT is not good because then they can have you arrested for almost any reason. It also shows up on any computer of law enforcement that a restraining order has been issued against you, even years afterword.
Contact the court house, and usually, yes. see link
By contacting the family court with jurisdiction (where the child legally resides).
If your ex violates a restraining order against you, it is important to report the violation to the authorities immediately. Document any evidence of the violation, such as communication or incidents, to strengthen your case. Your safety is the priority, so consider seeking legal advice or support from local domestic violence resources.
Nope. If a judge ordered a restraining order, you must comply with its stipulations. There may be an appeals process, though. Check with your lawyer to find out if you can appeal the order.
Yes, in some states this can be done.Added: Perhaps in some states you may be able to do so, however others might either not allow it, or find it redundant.For instance:In Floridathe restrictions stated in a no-contact order are applicable and binding and on BOTH parties, and effectively apply to BOTHthe petitioner (the one who sought it) as well as against therespondent(the one against whom it was sought).You would have to check with your local Clerk of Court for the answer in your particular state.
Go to the court that issued the order, the Clerk Of Court office should have a copy on file that you can view.
