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.

Should you pay restraining order to a plaintiff instead of your landlord?
The question makes no sense. There is no payment of a restraining order. To obtain a restraining order, you either contact your local law enforcement agency and have a temporary order filed, or you motion the courts for an order, in which case you pay a motion fee to the court. Nothing is paid to the plaintiff, and the only reason your landlord would be involved is if he is the plaintiff or the defendant.

What is the furthest restraining order one can get?
I'm not sure what the longest restraining order is, but I have a restraining order against my ex that is valid through the year 2099. It was issued in Orange County, CA to my ex after my earlier restraining order of 2004 thru 2007 expired. Can anyone beat that? Oh, and I got this on my own...my attorney was successful only at taking my money, not at protecting my rights or assets.
