I asked a question earlier about a pregnant friend with an abusive ex b/f. Where does she need to go for a restraining order against him? Is there anything involved such as cost? How long does a restraining order usually last?
All of you have been very helpful. Thanks!

Go down to your local court house and request one. They can gove you the paperwork and file it right there. A judge has to grant it but there is how it is done.

There should be Battered Woman shelter in your area. So they can help her get a 50B. That is temporary order then she will help to appear in front of the Judge. If everything goes the right way he should grant it for a year. This doesn't cost anything. Here where I'm from it is called Help, INC. I should know I've been a client of there myself. They will you if you are willing to help yourself. I'll be praying for your friend.

Hello,
My name is Caroline and I am writing you from The Steve Wilkos Show at NBC Universal in Chicago. This talk show was created to help people going through serious problems. I would like to fly out your friend, and her boyfriend and anyone else involved all expenses paid to Chicago. Your friend can confront her abuser with Steve (who is an ex-cop, ex-marine) there to support her. We can also provide counseling after the show in your hometown and can help her figure out a plan for her life. Please have her call toll free 877-836-3405

Go to the court house and you will need to talk to the judge to get one in place, , ask questions. the judge will tell you what you need to know. Cost, I do not know, I had my lawyer do this.

She goes to the court house. No it doesn't cost anything. It will last as long as she needs it too.

Go to your local courthouse and fill out the necessary paperwork. I'm pretty sure it's free.
