EspañolWhat kinds of injunctions against harassment are there? How long do they last?
There are two kinds of injunctions against harassment: a temporary restraining order or an injunction from further harassment.1
A temporary restraining order (TRO) can last for up to 90 days from the date it is granted. A hearing will take place within 15 days after the TRO is granted. If the harasser has not been properly notified before the date of the hearing, the court may set a new date for the hearing. The new hearing date must happen within the original 90-day time frame.2
If the judge finds that there is substantial evidence that harassment has occurred after the TRO/Injunction hearing, s/he can order an injunction against further harassment. This injunction can last for up to three years.2
