Best Answer

A petition seeking a restraining order must be filed in the court with appropriate jurisdiction over the parties.

In most cases, the defendant must be sued where he/she lives.

Another View: Disagree. If the alleged activities are occurring in the jurisdiction where the victim lives, the restraining order must be applied for in the jurisdiction in which the plaintiff resides, and in which the alleged activities are taking place. When granted by the court in the plaintiff's jurisdiction it is enforeceable throughout the state.

Can an individual file a restraining order against a judge?

not sure if you mean whether or not you can file a restraining order against any judge or a judge you are dealing with in a case. the latter may present some problems whereas the former may be considered a person like anyone else not immune from the application of a restraining order if necessary. To be clear, a restraining order order is a Court order against an individual, which prevents them from having any sort of contact with another individual. You need to have a legitimate reason why you are requesting the restraining order. There are different types of restraining orders but they are typically applied when an individual feels that they are being threatened, stalked, or abused by another so keep that in mind.
