Is a restraining order in effect only after it is served?
no the restraining order is in effect the second the judge signs it. but a good thing to keep in mind is if you and the defendant are in the room together and the judge signs the order it is in effect but he is allowed to break the order due to the court proceeding you are undergoing. but once you two leave the court room he/she must then follow the order or go to jail.Another View: The order does NOT take effect unless, and until, it is served on the respondant. Until then the respondant can legally claim "no knowledge" of the existence of the order. Avoidance of service is actually a fairly common method of avoiding the restrictions of the order.
What do you call it when someone can't come near you by law?
