Understanding Restraining Orders in New Jersey

Domestic violence in New Jersey includes both civil restraining orders (TRO and FRO) and potential criminal charges. Here's how they work:

To obtain a Final Restraining Order (FRO), a plaintiff must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that:

1. A predicate act of domestic violence occurred (assault, harassment, stalking, etc.); AND
2. There is a compelling need for the entry of the FRO (protection from future harm).

Why Choose Kraminsky Law for Your Domestic Violence Case

Predicate Acts Under the NJ Prevention of Domestic Violence Act

The following offenses can form the basis of a TRO or FRO under the NJPDVA (N.J.S.A. 2C:25-19):

The plaintiff must also demonstrate a compelling need for the restraining order. Family members can be included as protected parties.

The Final Restraining Order Hearing

To be successful at an FRO hearing, the plaintiff must prove by a preponderance of the evidence both elements (predicate act + need for protection). The Court will consider:

• Previous history of domestic violence between the parties (threats, harassment, physical abuse)
• Existence of immediate danger to a person or property
• Financial circumstances of the parties
• Best interests of the victim and any children
• Existence of a verifiable order of protection from another jurisdiction
