Restraining Order Vs Tro
Summary
In Virginia, a restraining order provides long-term protection, while a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) offers short-term relief. To file for an Order of Protection, visit your local Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court, complete the petition, and provide evidence of threats or harassment. A temporary order can be issued quickly, with a full hearing typically within 15 days. You dont need a lawyer for the hearing, but legal representation can be beneficial. A protective order can be requested even without direct threats, but evidence of harassment is necessary. Violating a restraining order or breaking into a house with one in place can lead to severe penalties, including misdemeanors or felonies.Full Conversation

I was recently sued by a former tenant at my condo, and he was forced to voluntarily dismiss the case because he doesn't have much evidence. He was told by his lawyer not to re-open the case. His lawyer told my lawyer the former tenant is angry about this. He was very unstable when he was living at the condo, and I fear this may encourage him to take violent or harassing measures towards me after the dismissal of the case. How should I protect myself legally with a type of restraining or protective order that will last for the next six months
