Posted by Maria

“My brother had actually consulted and hired Mr Travis Tormey in regards to a TRO against him. Things got a bit more complicated whereas I needed to contact the law office several times and spoke with Joanne, who was extremely helpful, patient and totally understanding. When I had to speak to Travis I would text him and he would communicate with me in a timely fashion considering he was busy in court or had to wait to hear from his partners, who were also involved in the case. Overall the professionalism and expertise in their field was exceptional. In court they defended my brother with such compassion and dedication to their client. At the conclusion, case was dismissed thanks to both Travis and Tom. They demonstrated their strong capabilities and passion that I feel merit them a five star review. I would definitely recommend this law firm to anyone in need of legal advice or defense.”

Negotiate a Civil Restraints Agreement to Have a Restraining Order Dismissed

If you are facing a final restraining order (FRO) in NJ, one of the potential ways to resolve your case is through an agreement known as “civil restraints”. This is essentially a consent order between the parties (the plaintiff and the defendant) where certain stipulations are placed on the record. This agreement can govern contact (if any) and the means of communication (email, text, phone, through third party, etc.). It also can govern issues with children (such as pick up and drop off, visitation, etc.). The consent order can also discuss issues of personal property or anything else the parties deem important that needs to be settled. This consent agreement will be signed by the parties and their lawyers (if they have them) and then will be presented to the judge for signature. If there is a divorce proceeding or child custody proceeding, this consent order can be docketed under those docket numbers and will be signed by the judge. However, if there is no divorce or child custody proceeding in place, then the order can not be docketed and the judge can not sign it. Under these circumstances, it remains a consent order between the parties and the contents of the agreement can still be placed on the record in court.

In order to enter civil restraints, the Plaintiff has to drop the initial restraining order. The civil restraints essentially is entered in lieu of the restraining order. This is beneficial to the plaintiff because he or she is guaranteed some protection through this agreement and they avoid having to go through the trial on the final restraining order (FRO). It is also beneficial to the defendant because the civil restraints does not require you to get fingerprinted and photographed and entered into a statewide database for domestic violence offenders. Also, if you violate civil restraints you do not get arrested like a restraining order. The other party can petition the court to sanction you for violating the civil restraints agreement.
