Q: When you receive a TRO is it supposed to say why the petitioner filed it? Or just the ticked squares with, stay away,
no contact, etc etc ? And do you ever get to view the reasons why? Does the accused ever get to see any of the evidence prior to trial?
Thanks in Advance

A: Under California law, a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) typically includes the conditions imposed on the restrained party, such as "stay away" and "no contact," but it may not necessarily contain the detailed reasons for why the petitioner sought the order. However, you are generally entitled to see the petitioner's application and any supporting documents, which should include the reasons for the TRO, before the hearing for the permanent restraining order. During the hearing, you'll have an opportunity to present your side and contest the evidence presented against you.
