Restraining order?

Question

I need major help. In four days my fiance and I are to be flying to his home town to pick up his grandfather. However, two days ago my fiance gets an email from his cousin saying a lot of rude stuff about the family. So, my fiance writes his cousin back and told her to stop writing to him because she is a habitual liar and nothing she says can be trusted. Well, after that she wrote back saying to wait until he gets back there and she'll show him how many friends she has. Then her girl friend wrote to him and said "wait till you get out here, you won't be going back to Cali" (we are in cali and they are in NJ) Now, my fiance and I both know his cousin and her chick are into gangs and drugs and we don't want there to be problems when we go there. We've talked about getting a restraining order, but I don't know how that works with out of state stuff and we're leaving in 4 days. Please help...

Answer 1

Q: I have a temporary ex-parte restraining order. Can it be enforced in another state?

A: Yes. Temporary ex-parte restraining orders can be enforced by other states, just like any regular DVRO, as long as the abuser has been served and will have the opportunity to have a court hearing set before your temporary order expires.

Note: The state where you are going cannot extend your temporary order, or issue you a permanent order when the temporary one expires. If you need to extend your temporary order, you will have to contact the state that issued the order and arrange to be at the hearing in person or by telephone (if that is an option offered by the court).

Good Luck, faith

Answer 2

You might want to try calling the local police department to see if they can be there when you pick him up. Explain the situation & how you expect the worst. It would be hard to put a restraining order on a friend of your cousin since you don't know them so generalize the threat to a gang.
Good luck & stay safe.
