Fay, IV, Esq., obtained a Dismissal of a\u00a0Temporary Restraining Order\u00a0at the\u00a0Final Restraining Order Hearing court date. For our client (the Defendant), there was a lot at stake. Our child shared a child with the Plaintiff but did not have residential custody of the child. Therefore, if he lost at the\u00a0Final Restraining Order Hearing, it would have been near impossible to spend any time with the child. Thankfully, we were able to fight the charges, subpoena police officers and demonstrate that these allegations were based on falsehoods and misrepresentations. The Temporary Restraining Order that had been entered originally was dismissed and our client walked out of the courthouse free of any restrictions and avoided any weapon forfeiture that would be mandated under a Final Restraining Order.

Specifically, the court must schedule a first hearing date within about 10 days. Often times, these first appearances result in adjournments\/postponements so that each side can consult with legal counsel. Typically, a formal hearing will occur as soon as the second court date because restraining orders are incredibly burdensome on the defendants. Therefore, judges are motivated in having the hearings as soon as possible so that the facts of the case can be heard on the court record. At the hearing, both parties will be able to testify and present witnesses. Giving direct testimony and cross-examining your opponents witnesses requires the skill and expertise of a\u00a0New Jersey TRO Attorney. There are various objections and facts that most \u201clay people\u201d will not understand. To speak with an attorney about your Mt.
