  • Common Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions

Can a protective order be dismissed if the other person withdraws the request?

Not always. In New Jersey, the court makes the final decision. Even if the person who filed the order wants to withdraw it, the judge may still proceed based on the evidence and circumstances.

A Final Restraining Order (FRO) is not a criminal conviction, but it becomes a permanent record. It can impact background checks, housing, employment, and firearm rights.

Follow all terms of the order strictly, including no-contact rules. Avoid any direct or indirect communication and seek legal guidance immediately to protect your rights and prepare for the hearing.
