Restraining orders (TROs) start out as temporary (Temporary Restraining Order-TRO), but can be made permanent.
Once permanent, a restraining order can last in perpetuity (forever). Restraining orders, or orders of protection, are often sought in domestic violence cases.
In some situations, a judge may include in his or her order that you not be allowed to carry a weapon, which can affect your employment opportunities, such as security guard or police officer, as well as recreational activities, such as hunting. Whether a judge includes a weapon clause in the restraining order, federal law prohibits you from being in close proximity to a weapon. This includes gun and knife collections. Moreover, if the restraining order requires you to stay a certain distance away from your spouse, you must obey the order. Violations can and will lead to additional criminal cases brought against you.
