Temporary Restraining Order – A TRO Explained
What is a temporary restraining order?
A temporary restraining order is a short-term, pre-trial, temporary injunction ordered by the court at the beginning of a divorce action. The order is issued to protect both parties from immediate irreparable harm that they may suffer if the order is not issued. The order protects a party from the other emptying a marital bank account, or selling or destroying marital property. Some counties in the Miami Valley automatically issue such an order at the filing of the divorce complaint. Check with a qualified divorce attorney to determine whether the county in which you are filing is one of those counties, or if you will need to file a motion for the order.
If you are considering filing for divorce, and believe you may need a temporary restraining order because of your concerns about your spouse disposing of property, contact a qualified divorce attorney.
