Re: have just been served with a restraining order
You should absolutely get a lawyer, or, at a minimum talk with a lawyer so that you understand your rights and what it would mean to have a restraining order against you. It is also important that you do so in a prompt manner, if you want to fight the restraining order. The restraining order will be in place for a year and will subject you to mandatory arrest for any violation.
