Details of a restraining order in New Jersey

After a temporary restraining order is granted, a date is set, usually within 10 days for a final restraining order hearing. At that hearing, the burden is on the victim to prove two things by a preponderance of the evidence: (1) the underlying criminal offense stated in the temporary restraining order did in fact occur; and (2) there is a continuing need for the protection of the victim. There are technical rules and evidence that must support each of these assertions, and only an experienced domestic violence attorney can provide the help a domestic violence victim will need.
