In most states it is a first degree misdemeanor ... so your looking at a year! Don't violate!
There is no set time limit. The term(s) of restraining orders are set by the Judge at the time they are issued, depending upon the circumstance.

The length of an order is outlined in the order itself. A restraining or protective order may be for a limited period of time, or it may be permanent. Read the order.
Violating a restraining order can result in penalties such as fines, jail time, or both, depending on the severity of the violation and the laws of the specific jurisdiction.

Yes, you can still seek a restraining order even if you failed to appear for the initial hearing on a temporary restraining order. You would typically need to file a request to have the case reopened or to explain your absence to the court. Depending on the circumstances, the court may allow you to present your case for a restraining order at a later date. It's advisable to consult with a legal professional for guidance on the specific procedures in your jurisdiction.
In my experience, restraining orders and domestic violence injunctions are served by the Sheriffs Office or other law enforcement-associated agency. They are not served by private individuals, attorneys included.
Jail time does depend until the court system will put them away. Normal charges are you being arrested. In NC this is mandatory.
You will probably serve time in juvenile detention center.
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.
They can vary by length from a very short time span all the way up to permanent. The court order will have this information in it somewhere. If it cannot be located contact the Clerk Of The Court which issed the order to see the original decision.
