Hey guys! So I have a friend and his ex gf claims that she has a restraining order on him, but he was only informed by her, and not any law enforcement. She said she had one on him, even though they got back together for like a week, and now she's threatening to call the cops on him if he goes to church, which she only went to because he started inviting her.
Anyways, so could she have a restraining order on him? Or is she just trying to scare the shit out of him?
Honestly though if she did have one on him, there would be no reason to have it. He doesn't pose any threat and doesn't stalk her.

restraining orders are public information. you can visit your country clerk website and type in your information to see if you have or had one filed against you.
its always advised to show up and state your case. if you didnt do anything wrong and they file, you need to go and tell the judge your side. if not..the judge COULD rule against you.
the same goes if you are dodging the sheriffs/police serving the RO. just because they dont serve you doesnt mean there wont be a hearing in front of a law judge. if you are not served, the judge could rule against you n usually will.
the cops come looking for you to serve you papers. you sign papers and they tell you not to have any contact with whoever filed. and vice versa.
tell your friend to ignore her, dont call or text. no messages like email or facebook. let her make contact, document, then submit info to judge saying shes breaking the RO she filed. even if your friend deserved the RO, he should STILL go to the court date. all he needs to say is "i want nothing to do with her and want this behind me ASAP". most of the time they throw out the RO or issue a temp. RO if there hasnt been anything seriously wrong going on.
whatever the circumstances are. my advice would be to look online to see if one has been filed and show up to the court date. if youre anal about your record/background, this is something you need to take care of.

AD, you sound like a lawyer

From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835) Trade list http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18047755

I was just forced to deal with a bullshit restraining order that eventually got thrown out. If there is a restraining order, papers will be served and court appearances will be coming.
If there is a restraining order that means no contact is allowed. My aunt filed one against me, my lawyer told me that if she calls me I am not allowed to answer the phone, that if I do I will go to jail. It doesn't matter who contacts who, the contact is not allowed and the person with the restraining order can have the person it's for put in jail. I went as far as changing my phone number to make sure she couldn't contact me, I blocked her on facebook and all of my family as they were instigating, there was money involved and they all wanted as much as possible and to make sure I didn't get any.
For me there was no evidence my aunt was in any danger, it was all about the money. My grandfather had recently passed away and my aunt was trying to make sure that none of his money went to me... So far it hasn't worked out for her, she hasn't gotten any money, neither have I, but I don't care, it wasn't mine and I wasn't expecting any. I'm doing my best to drag this whole thing out(slowly putting my aunt in debt...), if my aunt wouldn't have been such an asshole I'd have signed the papers she wanted me to sign and she'd have gotten paid, but she had to fuck with me...
Fucking family, can't count on them for anything but to fuck you when your already down..... FML
Good luck
