Passaic County and Morris County NJ Restraining Order Lawyer

Domestic Violence Attorney with Offices in Totowa and Denville, New Jersey

When a domestic violence incident occurs, police customarily ask the alleged victim if he or she wants to file a temporary restraining order (TRO). If the party declines, then no restraining order will be issued and only the criminal charges, if any, will proceed. If the victim wishes to obtain a restraining order, he or she will speak to a judge and, if there are grounds, a TRO will be issued. In that case, a final restraining order (FRO) hearing will be scheduled in the Family Division of Superior Court within 10 days.

There are significantly different standards of proof and related issues with regard to criminal charges and FRO hearings. If you or a loved one has been charged with domestic violence criminal offenses or you are facing a restraining order in New Jersey, it is imperative that you contact an experienced lawyer for help.

It is important to realize that from the issuance of the TRO until the hearing for the FRO, you may have certain restrictions placed on you, including, for example, limitations on your parenting privileges. While courts certainly understand that you want to be able to see your children, any attempt to violate the restrictions could result in you being arrested and jailed on a contempt charge. A conviction for violating a restraining order has significant consequences.
