Pitfalls of Do-It-Yourself Restraining Orders

Why use a lawyer to get a restraining order?

There are dangerous pitfalls to a do-it-yourself restraining order. If you need, or your child needs, protection from domestic violence, you cannot afford to make a mistake. You need to ask the court for an emergency protective order or temporary restraining order that offers the necessary protection for the appropriate length of time.

  • You need a restraining order that the court will enforce.
  • You need to know the answers to your questions now and may not have time to do research on your legal options.
