A Domestic Violence Restraining Order is a temporary court order that a judge will issue for an initial 15-21 days for an alleged victim of domestic violence. On the next court date, the judge will decide whether or not to make the order permanent. If the judge decides to grant the victim a permanent restraining order, it could last for up to five years.
