How Can A Restraining Order Protect Me?
Restraining orders can carry a number of consequences for the person being restrained that, if broken, may result in fines and / or jail time.
Some consequences include:
- Affect their immigration status if they are in the process of applying for a visa or green card.
- Prevent them from purchasing or owning a gun. If they already possess a firearm or firearms, they may be required to store, sell or turn them in.
- Prevent them from coming in contact with their children.
- Require them to move out of their home.
- Restrictions may be placed on what activities they take part in or what locations they are permitted to visit.
In general, there are three main types of restraining orders that each carry different consequences.
Residence Exclusion Orders
These orders, also referred to as move-out or kick-out orders, force the restrained person to move out of their home if they share a residence with the person filing the restraining order. The restrained person is only allowed to remove their clothing and personal belongings until the court hearing, and can only be asked for in cases of dependent or elder adult abuse or domestic violence.

- The person who filed the restraining order.
- The person who filed the restraining order’s car.
- The person who filed the restraining order’s children’s daycare or school.
- The person who filed the restraining order’s workplace.
- The person who filed the restraining order’s home.
- Other locations where the person who filed the restraining order is likely to go.
