How long do restraining orders last?

Answer 1

Each state enacts laws pertaining to such issues. In some jurisdictions the entry will remain until it (ORS, NCO, DVPO, WPO etc.) is vacated by the court. Restraining orders are not usually not open public records and are available to "those persons with need to know" and at the discretion of the issuing judge. My understanding is a restraining order has to be renewed every three years?or less according to the Judge that made the order. Check with your local court recorders office or your local family law facilitator.

Answer 2

This would be written into the order itself. If there is no expiration date, it is permanent.

Answer 3

A restraining order is a civil record and does not go on your criminal record. However, if you violate a restraining order it then becomes a criminal offense.

Answer 4

The judge sets the time limit when he grants the order. Look at your copy of the order. Somewhere in/on it it should say.

Answer 5

It depends on the order.

It should be specified in the text of the order.

Answer 6

A temporary restraining order is a civil order, not a criminal conviction. It therefore will not appear on a criminal record.

However, the court clerk will maintain the record forever.

Answer 7

The expiration date will be listed in the order. It can be for any period of time.

Answer 8

It depends on the order. The duration will be included in the text of the order.
