Restaining Order dilemma
My uncle cheated and has come clean about it. The person involved will not stop harrassing family members. She has threatened to send people to his work. A restraining order was to take place through court but she didnt show. We have to wait? cant it be filed and her notified through marshal?

Re: Restaining Order dilemma
You need to retain an attorney to assist you in this matter. The procedure is to prepare a request for a temporary restraining order and a hearing date for a restraining order. The temporary restraining order and the notice of hearing are served on her by a process server or the sheriff. If she does not appear on the date for the hearing then you should receive the restraining order for a period up to 5 years. If she appears in court then there will be a hearing to determine whether or not the restraining order will be issued.
