Since restraining orders are easy to get and require little or no evidence, as David Letterman learned, it fully depends on the circumstances. In the Letterman case, a NM woman said he was sexually harassing her through the TV. It cost him $15,000 in legal fees to get it set aside. In New York a man proved the point by placing a restraining order on himself by merely dressing as a woman. He used his own name and info on both lines.
Yes they can.
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...
It will not expire.
Yes.
yes
One year executed means one year of the sentence will be served in jail. Three years suspended to probation means the remaining three years of the sentence are to be served on probation.
once you have served your probation term and are off you can leave the state
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.
In my experience, restraining orders and domestic violence injunctions are served by the Sheriffs Office or other law enforcement-associated agency. They are not served by private individuals, attorneys included.
When an order of injuction to have someone do something or not do something as in a restraining order. A sworn statement is required to show that one is in fear of their life and be approved by a judge to the defendant to be served with the injunction.
The difference between felony and misdemeanor probation is the felony is when a person is sentence to a jail term, but it can be served out of jail. The misdemeanor probation is not given jail time. They serve a probation period.
No, I was offered this type of Probation in TX, the Judge told me that if I completed my probation that there would be no record of conviction.
