What is the difference between a temporary restraining order and temporary orders?
A temporary restraining order, or TRO, is an order signed by the Court without notice to your spouse. It usually addresses rules about property issues, like spending money, and personal issues, like “being nice” to the other party. It is only effective for a limited period of time, until the Court holds a temporary order hearing. It is served upon your spouse, along with the date to appear at the temporary order hearing. The Court will then decide whether or not the temporary restraining order will become a temporary injunction and order temporary orders.
