Understanding New York Restraining Order Laws: A Complete Overview

A restraining order is issued in two phases. 

The first phase is called temporary ex parte. Only the testimony of the victim is necessary to get it in place. The purpose is to provide for immediate security until a full hearing and examination of evidence can be held. The fact the defendant has not yet been able to defend themselves means that the order given will only be temporary. 

Preparing Your Evidence: Building a Strong Case with Your Bronx Lawyer

Our Bronx domestic violence attorney will then work with victims to prepare evidence for the hearing. 

  • Direct physical assaults can leave bruises, and may have necessitated a trip to the emergency room. 
  • In the latter case, there will be medical records that can be introduced at the hearing. 
  • It’s possible that evidence can include everything from threatening text messages and voicemails to the sworn testimony of those close to the situation. 

If the court finds the evidence compelling, they will issue a final order of protection. The time period on this final order is often about two years, though it can be renewed on expiration. 

How a Restraining Order Can Safeguard You

  • The contents of a restraining order will usually involve the defendant being given a specific distance from the victim which cannot be breached. 
  • Depending on the situation, a judge may also bar any type of contact, from phone to text to email to social media. 

Consequences of Violating a Restraining Order

The violation of a restraining order. The defendant—who may face criminal charges in any case from the District Attorney’s office—can be placed in contempt of court for violating the restraining order. Contempt charges can result in jail time as long as four years.
