Title: The difference between a temporary and permanent restraining order
A permanent restraining order will protect victims of certain crimes like child abuse, domestic abuse, harassment, stalking, sexual assault, and some other offenses. They are also common in some cases of divorce, especially when the divorce is based upon a history of repeated abuse.
A permanent restraining order will most likely require the perpetrator to:
• Not communicate or contact that victim in any way
• Stay a specific distance away from the victim and areas where he/she is normally occupied
• Refrain from abusive acts

The offender would most likely need to submit information stating that a modification would not place the victims in any further danger.
A permanent restraining order can be lifted, but again this might be really difficult to do.

• If the abuser violates the terms of the TRO, then it can be extended to a permanent restraining order.
The time frame for a TRO is mainly up to a judge. He/she will listen to what the victim wants and then hear the offender's side of the story if he/she is present as well.
