A judge will review the petition and issue a temporary restraining order when, based on the contents of the petition, there is probable cause to believe the petitioner is in immediate danger of domestic violence, violence, or some other significant physical, emotional, or financial harm occurring prior to a hearing on the petition. If the judge finds, based on the contents of the petition, that a temporary restraining order should be issued, the order is issued ex parte. [Res. 20-R-091 Art. V(A), 7/2/2020.]
