Restraining Orders

You can file a request for a temporary restraining order against anyone who has threatened you, harassed your, or has assaulted you, as long as they are not a family member, blood related, have children with you, or have ever lived with you or been in a sexual relationship with you.

Be warned, though, that your employer may look at it unfavorably. However, if you feel that the threat or harassment is the result of discrimination, you are protected by federal law, and they can face serious liability charges if they terminate you, threaten you with demotion or pay cuts, or in any other way retaliate against you for filing the TRO.

Your best bet is to seek the counsel of an attorney who has experience in employment law. You also want to make sure the reason for the TRO is well documented. You will have to prove your case, and there are severe civil penalties if the order is not granted and the co-worker sues you for defamation of character.

By the way, don't expect your employer to support you or stand by you during this proceeding. It is their job to limit liability. One would think that would mean to terminate the aggressor; however, that's usually not the case. Many, many times, the employer will stand by the aggressor and alienate the victim, so as to appear to limit liability because they do not want to admit that the threat took place because they could then be liable for negligent supervision, negligent retention, negligent hiring, hostile work environment, OSHA violations, and possible EEOC violations. Be prepared to be an immediate outsider with little or not support from your employer and/or coworkers.

Unless the Court orders the record expunged (destroyed), it is still a part of public record.

This cannot be answered with a generally applicable response. Apparently various court systems and various jurisdictions handle this matter differently. While some systems DO charge a fee for processing them, other court systems charge nothing. The only solution is to the call the Office of The Clerk Of Court in your area for this information.

No. But when you become a legal adult (18 in the US), you can request that the court lift the order.

can you cancel a restraining order?

In almost all cases a restraining order is a publicly available court record. The ease with with the restraining order could be discovered depends on the level of public access available in the court where the order was issued.

No. The restraining order is disregarded provided you are fulfilling the requirement of an authority in an unrelated matter.

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.

Yes. Once you are 16, you are allowed some leeway. But since you are still a full minor, your parents have every right (no matter how stupid it may seem) to put a restraining order out "for your safety".

Contact the local police, sheriff or constables. File a complaint and let the law handle the rest.

Depends on the reason for the restraining order but I don't think, considering its temporary for whatever reason, it would count as a criminal offense.

Yes. Switching guardians has nothing to do with the restraining order. It will remain there until it is cancelled.

Yes, you can.

It's possible. How likely it is depends on a lot of factors. You should talk to an attorney.

that really sucks, but parents hav overall law, Screw UR parentsdo wut ur heart feels :)

if a wife puts a restraining order against the husband is it legal to contact each other through another person

• Unless you have a written or typed document with her signature on as well as your signature regarding the loan then you take the risk of losing your money. If you are chasing her around to get the money then she gave you a cheap shot to have you charged for stalking. It would be wise of you to forget the loan and her and just move forward in your life. A lesson learned ... never loan money without at least a promissory note by the person who is loaning the money and your signature as well as the loaner.

Go to your local court house and tell them that you need to talk with someone about getting a restraining order. They will tell you where you need to go. Usually it's right inside the courthouse as well. If that doesn't work...he's 17 have him committed. Don't let things get out of hand. More than likely he has some kind of mental disorder that is causing him to act the way he does. Manic depressive (bipolar disorder), schizophrenic, depression, or one of the many childhood disorders that they are born with but tend not to bloom out until young adulthood. You need to do something NOW before you, your husband or someone else gets hurt.

Restraining orders are not generally issued for substance abuse alone but for the behaviors that often accompany substance abuse. They are issued more for reasons of physical abuse or threats of physical abuse and property damage. You should visit the family court and ask to speak with an advocate who could review your situation and explain your options.

As for the restraining order, it would probably depend on why you felt you needed the restraining order against her. Has she harmed or threatened to harm you? Or do you just want to be single again? As for the children, I can't see any judge giving you a restraining order against them, and may even let the wife take out a restraining order on you for trying to kick her and your innocent children out on the street. That could be considered child abuse, child endangerment or at the very least, neglect.

As for filing for divorce, anyone can do that at any time. And keep in mind, you will have to pay child support whether you choose to visit your kids or not. Although, if they are your stepchildren, then you shouldn't have to pay child support on them but, depending on the laws in Texas, you may have to pay spousal support (alimony).
