DV-126-INFO How to Reissue a Temporary Restraining Order The judge may need to set your hearing for another day. This happens when: • You were not able to get the Notice of Court Hearing and any temporary restraining orders served or • The other person asked for time to get a lawyer or prepare an answer or • You need to meet with a family court mediator about child custody or visitation. If your hearing gets changed to another day, follow these steps: • Fill out Reissue Notice of Court Hearing and Temporary Restraining Order (Form DV-125). • Ask the judge to sign it and give you a new hearing date. In some courts, you must give your form to the clerk for the judge’s signature. Ask the court clerk for information on the local process. • File the form with the clerk. The clerk will make up to five file-stamped copies for you. • Attach one “filed” copy of Form DV-125 to your other court papers (Forms DV-100, DV-109, and DV-110, if issued). Have them served personally on the restrained person. Do this right away. Now the temporary orders, if any, will last until the new hearing date. • The clerk will send the restraining order to law enforcement or CLETS for you. CLETS is a statewide computer system that lets police know about your order. • Bring all of your papers to the next court hearing. Need help?
