Hackensack New Jersey Domestic Violence Attorney
If an accuser alleges assault, harassment, stalking or terroristic threat, a temporary restraining order (TRO) may be issued. This TRO may require you to leave your home, refrain from any communication with the accuser (and your children) and continue to make mortgage or rent payments for a property that you are unable to enter.
If a TRO is issued, a hearing for a final restraining order (FRO) will take place. If granted, the FRO will remain in effect for life unless lifted upon motion to the court. A violation of a restraining order will cause a judge to sign a warrant for your arrest, which could expose you to jail, fines and a criminal conviction on your record.
