How Do I Revoke a Restraining Order in New Jersey?
Full Question:
Answer:
A restraining order may be issued to a person who is a victim of harassment. A restraining order is a court document that is an order signed by a judge. Typically, civil court orders are not published in newspapers, but violations of criminal restraining orders will become part of one's legal record. The restraining order may expire by statute or remain in effect until vacated by the court. The order may or may not be issued ex parte, or without both parties to the order present. In certain cases, a judge may require testimony by both sides before issuing a restraining order.
A petition to revoke the restraining order may be made by the ex-wife or the former husband may petition the court to remove it. A hearing is typically held in which the person requesting the restraining order be revoked/removed must prove their need for having the the order revoked/removed by by the greater weight of the evidence. The person restrained (defendant) may present evidence to counter the allegations made. I suggest contacting a local attorney who can review all of the facts and documents involved.
