Is it possible to get a restraining order against the police?

If a police officer is acting in his official capacity, you cannot put a restraining order on him. If, for example, an officer is investigating you for something, you cannot stop him from investigating. If you feel an officer is violating your rights in his official capacity, the best thing to do is go to the officer's supervisor and try to resolve the problem. When an officer is not acting in his official capacity, like he's your neighbor and is bothering you, then you can get a restraining order against him. Remember, when not acting as an officer, he is just a private citizen; just like you.

How do you respond to a temporary restraining order issued by a Massachusetts court?

In Texas a TRO must include a date for a hearing, which must be within 14 days of issuing the order. During that 14 days, your best bet is to marshall your evidence for the hearing. That is, evidence and proof that support removing the TRO. The TRO has a time, date and place for the hearing. SHOW UP FOR THAT HEARING! If you don't, the Court will likely convert the TRO to a "permenent" Restraining Order (which will be periodically reviewed by the Court). If the other party fails to convince the Court that you should be permenently restrained, he will have to pay all your costs and fees.

Good luck

Can a parent get a restraining order on you if im 18 and her daughter is 16?

Yes. It's the parents who decide who their minor will meet and who will meet their minor so they are in their right to prevent someone they do not approve of to stay away from their child using the law if necessary. People sometimes mistake age of consent for being an age when you can see whoever you want but age of consent is for sex only. The parents still decide who their child is allowed to see.

Can you file a restraining order against your adult child?

It really depends on what you did to your father. Honestly, if you did some sexual things you are SICK. That man gave BIRTH to you. Unless of course there was a prostitute involved.. then it's alright. But technically, if you really must know, you can always go on the black market and hire a fake representative and get that person to get you out of that. But if you did sexual things to him, i honestly don't blame him.

How can you convince a judge to not give you a restraining order?

Talk to the clerk of the court that issued the order. A restraining order is typically limited to a short period, during which the defendant has a right to be heard on why the order should be lifted. After that, the court may issue a preliminary injunction or a permanent injunction, both of which also include you as a party (i.e., you can present evidence and arguments in your favor).

What is restraining order?

Read the paperwork you should have received. It will spell out what is required of you.

Is a restraining order in effect only after it is served?

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.

Does a restraining order keep you from getting a job?

If the order is a general one, such as "not have contact with children," it will prohibit you from applying for a job that will involve contact with that class of persons. If it is the usual order prohibiting contact with a former spouse or boy/girlfriend, you cannot apply where s/he works.

A restraining order in and of itself will not prohibit you from getting a job, unless it was the result of a criminal complaint filed against you. The criminal complaint/arrest/conviction would permit an employer to decline to hire you. If asked on the application for employment, failure to answer truthfully would be grounds to terminate you or not hire you.

What happens if both parties violate restraining order?

Valid for the US only: The answer will depend on the specifics of the order and the statutes in your state. However, in most states, a restraining order (more accurately called a "protection order") is a court mandated document which can only be altered under the authorization of a judge. Neither the protected party or the restrained party are permitted to interpret or alter or ignore any provision of the order. Therefore, if a no contact order is issued, and the protected party invites the restrained party over for a quick chat "just to sort things out" both parties are in violation and , in some states if it is a DV related order, both parties MUST be arrested for violation of the court order.
