Domestic Violence Lawyer in NJ: Protecting Victims' Rights

New Jersey Domestic Violence Lawyers

To obtain a Temporary Restraining Order a Superior Court judge or Municipal Court judge must determine that a person committed one of the enumerated acts of domestic violence listed in New Jersey’s Domestic Violence statute, N.J.S.A. 2C:25-1 et seq., which is intended to protect all victims of domestic violence regardless of gender. However, it is challenging to successfully convince a Superior Court Judge to issue a Final Restraining Order, since once issued, a Final Restraining Order does not expire in this State. Therefore, before issuing a Final Restraining Order a trial judge must conduct a hearing during which testimony is given and evidence produced which is presented to substantiate or refute the allegations in the Temporary Restraining. This process provides the Court with a means to evaluate the seriousness of the offense that led to the issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order, the extent of the history of domestic violence, and the ultimate need to prevent future acts of domestic violence.
