Standard Family Law Restraining Orders

Standard Family Law Restraining Orders are set forth in the Dissolution of Marriage Summons. They apply to the Petitioner upon filing of the Petition of Dissolution and to the responding party, Respondent, upon being served with the Petition. The orders remain in effect until the final judgment is entered, the Petition is dismissed or further order of court.The filing of a Petition for Dissolution or Legal Separation results in the issuance of Standard Restraining Orders.

These restraining orders are designed to maintain the status quo during the pendency of the case.

Standard Restraining Orders are not designed to freeze bank or brokerage accounts. Violation of these orders sets the violator up for a breach of fiduciary duty claim.
