In New Jersey, specific Factors can be taken into consideration to vacate a Final Restraining Order

Final Restraining Orders in New Jersey are just that – final.  They are permanent. They do not expire and a victim does not have to have them renewed.  Without action, a Final Restraining Order will stay in effect for the rest of your life. And an accidental phone call or running into the victim while in public could result in criminal charges being filed against you for violating a Final Restraining Order.

If you find yourself as a Defendant in a Domestic Violence Complaint, there is often misconception about the practical implications of having a Final Restraining Order issued against you.  Many people think they simply must stay away from and avoid any contact with the alleged victim. This is a gross misunderstanding. Final Restraining Orders have far reaching and, in many instances, unanticipated consequences.
