What is a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and how does it differ from an Order of Protection?
A TRO is an immediate, short-term measure issued to protect individuals who are at risk of harm. It is generally in effect until a court hearing can be scheduled. An Order of Protection can be a more permanent solution, extended after a court hearing if the judge deems it necessary based on the evidence provided.
