Obtaining a domestic violence restraining order involves several important steps. The first step is to file the necessary forms with the court. These forms provide crucial information about the victim, the abuser, and the incidents of domestic violence. Once the forms are filed, a court will determine if a temporary restraining order should be issued based on information contained in the application. Following the issuance of a temporary order, there may be an evidentiary hearing to determine whether there is evidence for the court to issue a permanent order. During this hearing, the victim will need to present evidence or witnesses to support their claims of domestic violence.
