It is typical to be released and required to report back to court, either for another hearing or for a first hearing after the prosecution is ready to proceed (they have time, but limited time). Thus, the case is almost certainly still open,... View More

Gf has a choice to make and can't let herself be pressured by a judge for a Restraining Order. She decides, not a judge. Your son should not pressure gf to avoid a RO, because that could lead to additional criminal charges.

Lawyers can certainly help people prevail in court. It sounds like you have a strong case if the police arrested your husband. More facts are required to provide a thorough analysis. Determining the outcome is very difficult if you don't have all of the facts.
If this can be done, which one is enforceable? If the defendant violates the first court order thinking his restraining order is more legal, can he evict the victim?
answered on May 13, 2017

If a respondent doesn't show up to the hearing, that person risks having a restraining order issued even if that person doesn't show up. If there are active temporary restraining orders, they should be obeyed. The court will have to hear evidence and make rulings.
