During a restraining order hearing, the person seeking protection (the petitioner) presents evidence and testimony to support their request for a restraining order against the respondent. The respondent has the opportunity to respond to the allegations and present their own evidence. The key steps involved in the process include filing a petition for a restraining order, serving the respondent with notice of the hearing, attending the hearing, presenting evidence and testimony, and the judge making a decision on whether to grant the restraining order.

In my experience, a restraining order cannot be issued until after a court hearing has been held in which case BOTH sides get to tell their story to the judge or hearing officer.
