Obtaining a Protective Order

In New Jersey and New York, you can obtain a temporary restraining order (TRO) without the assistance of an attorney. The Law Offices of Laurence H. Olive can inform you of the procedure, or you can call your local police department or a domestic violence social service agency. No interaction with your abuser is necessary.

Following the issuance of the temporary order, a hearing will be scheduled for the final protective order, usually about two weeks after the issuance of the temporary order. At this hearing, the other party will have an opportunity to respond and challenge the basis for the order. Laurence H. Olive can present your case at this hearing, with the objective of obtaining a final protective order for you or a family member.

Preventing the Issuance of a Final Protective Order

Many domestic violence accusations and resulting protective orders come about because one party is seeking an advantage in a divorce proceeding or child custody dispute. Such protective orders can adversely affect your lifestyle and career, and result in the loss of your child custody or visitation rights.
