Between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, go to the court clerk in the Family Part of your county's Superior Court at the County Courthouse and tell a court employee that you are there to file a TRO.

A temporary restraining order is usually issued when a case commences and prohibits unilateral actions by either party until a hearing can be held: usually within two weeks. Its purpose is to prevent parties from unilaterally liquidating, encumbering, hiding, or transferring property or monies in order to obtain an advantage. TRO’s also prevent parties from relocating children or disrupting their schools and daycares.

A Temporary Restraining Order is issued based only upon the input of the victim. The defendant is not notified by the court and is not present. A Temporary Restraining Order is intended to provide exactly the same relief to the victim as a Final Restraining Order. However, it is intended to last only until the final hearing or until another court order is entered.

You should contact the Court Services Division of the Sheriff's Department in Indio at (760) 863-8255. They will explain all the details of the TRO process.

A "Temporary Restraining Order" (TRO) is normally issued after an "ex parte appearance." An ex parte appearance is an appearance in court by one party without the other party being present. The Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) is an order from the court directing the named person to refrain form particular acts and to stay away from particular places. The order is only effective if it is served upon the person to be restrained.

The parties will be provided copies at the conclusion of the hearing, the Superior Court Clerk's Office will retain the original, and the Sheriff's Department will retain a copy of the Temporary Protective Order as long as it remains in effect.

A State Law Enforcement Officer will usually be present at the Kapolei hearing site. However, you should decide whether it is safe for you to attend the hearing in person.

You may also authorize someone to represent you at the hearing.

The answer to this question depends on the terms of your order. You may attend if the order allows you to attend court or administrative hearings when the other party is present. Bring a copy of the order to the hearing and inform the receptionist of the order upon your arrival. You should also take precautions to avoid violating the order immediately before and after the hearing.

No. A Temporary Restraining Order will last until it is dismissed by the court at the request of the victim; or if a final hearing is held and a Final Restraining Order is not granted. There is no 'time limit' on a Temporary Restraining Order.
