Restraining orders can be either civil or criminal in origin and in treatment of violators.

A civil restraining order can initially be obtained ex parte. In such case after obtaining the order it must be served upon the restrained person and a hearing before a judge is scheduled. If granted the restraining order is for a limited period of time but it can be renewed.

A criminal restraining order is often done pending trial or as a condition of probation.

A restraining order can prohibit not only personal contact but contact by telephone or other electronic means. It may prohibit a person from contacting or coming within so many yards of the protected person or the protected person's house, vehicle, school or job.
