A petition for a restraining order must normally be filed in the same county where the defendant lives, because the court must have personal jurisdiction over the defendant.

you have to serve someone a restraining order for 1 weekAnother View: "YOU" don't serve the individual - the Sheriff's Office or a court officer serves them. If they purposely avoid the service of the order it may prove problematic because, legally, they cannot be held in contempt of the order if it cannot be proven that it was served on them.HOWEVER- you can bet that SOMEONE knows where they are or where they work - call the Sheriffs Office and let them know.

They will take care of having it served on them.
