There are three main types of restraining orders: Criminal Protective Orders, Civil Harassment Restraining Orders, and Domestic Violence Restraining Orders. All three are issued by a judge to protect a victim from future contact by the restrained person. It tells the retrained person to stay away from and to not hurt, threaten, or communicate with the protected person. These orders are issued both on a temporary and permanent basis.
