In the state of New Jersey, victims of domestic abuse, harassment, or threats are protected by a Civil Protective Order (CPO). A Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) can be obtained through the police or your local Family Court. If approved, the need for a Final Restraining Order (FRO) will be assessed in a hearing. There are legal repercussions for breaking a restraining order. Call the New Jersey Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-572-7233 for assistance.0
