How long does a restraining order last?

My gf filed on a guy 4 years ago and the guy just showed up unexpectedly where she works and asked the owner to be able to talk to her.

Almost universally < 4 years

Varies from state-to-state and can vary depending on the order.  Go get a copy of the order from the court.

Restraining order or Full order of protection.  Ours last a year unless otherwise specified check state law and the order that was granted.

Guess it depends, but I have read they can be issued for up to 5-years.

What does her totally useless paperwork say?

Three years for a temporary one in CA. Beyond that you have to renew them. I'll go with avoid talking to him. That guy is a retard for wanting to talk to her so don't join his idiocy and talk to him.



ETA: As posted above, what does her copy of the order say? Has she contacted him? RO work both ways neither party is allowed to contact each other.

No idea, he raped her about 4 years ago, she didn't press charges because she didn't want to go through the court system.
Sucks. He should be in prison.

Lol, creeping is a science, and creepers have that shit down

Sounds like a renewal is in order. Should be easy considering he showed up right after the thing expired.

Looks like 2-4 years depending on the type of injunction

To be honest, there's no way he would have known she works there. But if he shows up again, this will not be acceptable.

The one I got against my ex-wife is good for a year, not that she has in any way respected it.

Thanks, That helps.

Don't want to go to court to put the guy away? But instead are relying on a blue colored carbon copy piece of paper

She is a foreign student from Asia and didn't want to deal with the drama of the situation.

Like 10,000,000 million alarm bells are sounding right now.  A call to the local police non-emergency line is in order, right now.  If true, he has been stalking her for 4 years.

Um, it was most definitely not acceptable this time.

He was on probation at the time, apparently he did something else. I just checked him on CCAP and his probation was revoked in 2012. he must have gotten out in the last year.
Is there a limitation on when she can reopen the case? I believe she reported the incident when it happened but didn't press charges.

What the fuck, dude.

ETA: Next time, next time, next time, next time....

Believe me, I'm on it big time right now.
When she told me about it after we met, she wouldn't give me his name because she didn't want me to do anything, but she gave me his info now, so I can certainly get working on this.
The restraining order doesn't show on CCAP, is this normal?

Here is what I got from a google search on the statute of limitations in Wisconsin looks like about 6 years.

Tolling provisions

Time periods during which the offender was not publicly a resident of Wisconsin or during which a prosecution against the offender for the same act was pending are not included in the periods of limitation

Time periods during which an alleged victim of sexual exploitation by a therapist under is unable to seek the issuance of a complaint due to the effects of the sexual contact or due to any threats, instructions or statements from the therapist are not included in the periods of limitation

I've seen lifetime restraining orders.

lead lined by chance?

Not that I would ever suggest such a thing.

Girl I know had one against an ex. He kept harassing her and ended up in jail for a while for contempt. Call the magistrate and let him know. She'll either stop or a judge will make her stop.

Call the police and request a report. Make sure the owner is listed as a witness. Advise property owner of the order and the situation. He should be willing to give
















 
 
 
 
 

Hmmm...

I concur

varies from state to state. In michigan that are typically 1 year and you have to have them extended, for reason by a judge, each year after that.

J-
