A restraining order can require that a person leave his or her home. If a restraining order is taken out and two people share a child in common, the person taking out the restraining order may get temporary custody of the children. A restraining order requires that an individual stay away from another individual. This means that an individual may not be able to visit the home or work of a person who has a restraining order against them. A restraining order also prevents a person from contacting another person, either directly or through a third party. A restraining order may also give one parent temporary custody of the children with an order that the person pay child support in the interim. If a person violates a restraining order, they can face serious consequences. Violation of a restraining order can result in a first-degree misdemeanor. If you have had a restraining order made against you, you may still have the right to fight the order in court. Your reputation, your custody rights, your ability to own a gun, and your legal future may be on the line.
