Typically, either the victim or the defendant can ask the court to lift the restraining order. This is usually completed by filing a motion with the court, such as a Motion to Modify Conditions of Pretrial Release or a Motion to Lift Restraining Order. This legal motion must usually identify the parties.
If you believe the protection order was granted improperly or that it is no longer needed, you can file a motion asking the court to “dissolve†(terminate or cancel) the protection order. After you file the motion, the court will decide whether or not to schedule a hearing.
TPOs are public documents and can be searched for and viewed on our website. Attached to the TPO is usually a schedule and a map.

An ex parte order of protection is a temporary measure that can be filed quickly. A full protection order, or restraining order, is granted after a court hearing and lasts for a longer period of time than the ex parte order.
Even if the restraining order goes on your record, it likely won't affect your current or future employment. Most employers who conduct background checks only check for the most serious crimes. It costs more to search for every possible crime a person might have committed.
SUBMIT THE ORDER OF PROTECTIONAlso, you can complete the forms online, print them and take them with you to the police department OR the police department should have petition packets that you can complete in writing.
If the police are not able to serve the defendant with a copy of the order before the date for the 10-day hearing, the judge will set a new date for the 10-day hearing. The new date will probably be another 10 days later. The judge will write on the ex-parte order that says the order is good until the new date.
The Legal Definition of “Harassment†in Nevada LawBroadly speaking, to harass in Nevada means knowingly to threaten someone else with harm so that person reasonably fears that the threat will be carried out. Anything else intended to substantially harm another person's physical or mental safety.
You can request this type of order from a local law enforcement officer when you need immediate protection and the court is closed. The order would be signed by a district court judge who is on call. The judge must believe there is an immediate and present danger of abuse to you or your minor child.
It typically takes a week or two to get an injunction, but you can apply for an injunction to be granted on the same day if you are at immediate risk of significant harm. If the court grants an injunction without notice, you will have to go back to court later for a hearing once the abuser has been given notice.
Fortunately, they are not difficult to request. All you need to do is gather evidence of the abuse or threats and go to the courthouse to complete some forms. The court clerk should be more than happy to help you.
A TPO hearing is like a mini-trial where the judge or commissioner listens to evidence and determines whether to grant a temporary restraining order. At the hearing, the victim or his/her attorney will present evidence to the judge claiming that the victim is fearing for his/her safety.
