What is a temporary restraining order and what purpose does it serve?A temporary restraining order or TRO as it is called is designed simply to preserve the status quo until the court has an opportunity to hold a hearing on temporary orders. It is a very flexible tool and can be crafted to prevent a party from leaving the state with the children before a temporary hearing. It can freeze assets and forbid the sale or disposition of community assets without a court order. The TRO is valid for fourteen days and can be extended for an additional fourteen days. At the end of that time, the court will usually hold a hearing on temporary orders and address the issues raised by the TRO.
