NEW JERSEY Part 35

The Temporary Restraining Order in New Jersey


A domestic violence case starts in New Jersey when a plaintiff seeks a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) from the court. If the court finds that good cause exists, it may issue the TRO. This TRO can be based on a plaintiff's allegations alone. And this can all be with no prior notice to the defendant. The court then arranges for a court officer, a sheriff's officer, or a local police officer to serve a copy of the TRO upon the defendant.
