If you have been arrested for domestic violence or simply accused of domestic violence the courts may issue a temporary restraining order against you. Often temporary restraining orders are issued without the respondant's knowledge. Once the temporary restraining order has been put in place the court will ususlly schedule a hearing within a couple of weeks in order to determine whether there is a need to extend the duration of the temporary restraining order. Unless the hearing is contested the respondant will have the restraining order against them for a period of one year.

Having a temporary restraining order in place against you can prevent you from acquiring certain jobs, advancing at your current job, or even cause you to lose your current job.
