Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Detained to face TRO charges

I do not often advise not contesting false restraining order charges; however, in your case, if your objective is to leave, this may work to your advantage. The nice(?) thing about TRO charges (procedurally anyway) is that the hearing on the FRO (Final Restraining Order) is relatively quick. If you were found guilty, the main result is an Order keeping you away from her. There generally is no prohibition against your movement around the country or even the world. The main prohibition is that you can't contact or be near the victim. How much further could you be away from her than if you were in another country? CAUTION: Before you take this advice, seek legal counsel. This is a very unusual situation and I do not want to see you get caught on some detail that was outside of the scope of your question, that I may have missed. This advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, before you take any further action, you should contact an attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. I will be happy to assist you. However, you need to call me at 856-546-8010. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
