You may be able to arrange to have them served at work or at another place where they frequents.
If not, you may need to hire a private investigator to find this person.
You'd have to discuss it with your lawyer. If it is an old address of yours, it would still count, but if it is an address you've never lived at it doesn't. If there's a spelling mistake it still counts. If the number is wrong, discuss it with your lawyer.
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.
Both.Added; A restrainig order is issued against a specific named person - however - the order can restrain that individual from going near a certain address.
Stay away from the person you're supposed to stay away from or the police will arrest you and put you in jail.
It will not expire.
Yes they can.
no, that would defeat the purpose of a restraining order
What would prevent that? You are bound by the restraining order, not the person who obtained it.
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.
If it can be proven that the un-served party "knew" of the restraining order, the fact that they did not receive (or avoided) service of it, is not a defense.
No, the restraining order is only for the person that put the restraining order on the other person. So it does not stay with the property of the person who has now passed away.
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...
