Restrictions Imposed by the New Jersey Domestic Violence
Restraining Order
A Domestic Violence Restraining Order seriously disrupts the
life of the person controlled by it. The Order imposes obligations on the
defendant that are inconvenient and highly intrusive. We discuss some of these
restrictions below.
The New Jersey Domestic Violence Restraining order
(DVRO) almost always bars all contact with the plaintiff. This bar applies at
his or her home, place of employment, school, or at any other specified place
the plaintiff frequents. The order bars direct, face-to-face contact. In
addition, the Order bars contact through others. Thus the order specifies that
the defendant cannot contact the plaintiff by notes, letters, phone calls,
emails, text messages, or even contact through third parties.
