What Conduct is Needed for a Temporary Restraining Order
Not all conduct can be enjoined. There must be connection “abuse” with a connection between the conduct and the TRO that is being sought. The Domestic Violence Prevention Act, defines abuse as any of the following:
- Intentionally or recklessly causing or attempting to cause bodily injury
- Sexual assault
- Placing a person in reasonable apprehension of imminent serious bodily injury to that person or to another
- Engaging in any behavior that has been or could be enjoined such as molesting, attacking, striking, stalking, threatening, battering, harassing, telephoning, destroying personal property, contacting the other by mail or otherwise, disturbing the peace of the other party.

Domestic Violence Restraining Orders only apply to persons who have a certain relationship. If you have a certain relationship with someone and want to stop their abuse, you must seek a Domestic Violence Order on DV 100.
