How does a TPO work in Nevada?

A temporary protection order (a TPO) may be issued for up to 45 days. The judge can issue a TPO without notifying the other party first. You must fill out an application, and the judge might want you to come to a hearing if the judge has questions. If approved, the Sheriff will serve the other person with the TPO.

What proof do you need for a restraining order in Nevada?

The primary difference lies in the relationship between the parties. Restraining orders are typically used in non-domestic situations involving harassment, stalking, or civil disputes. Protective orders are used in cases of domestic violence or abuse where the abuser has a close personal relationship with the victim.

What evidence do I need for a TPO?

The testimony of any witnesses, such as a family member, who saw the respondent harm you. A police report that documents physical harm you sustained as well as any history of repeat violence. Medical records reflecting treatment for harm done. Photos or videos of any injuries caused by the respondent.

How long does a TPO last in Nevada?

The judge must make a decision within one business day of receiving your application. A temporary order can last up to 45 days or until your hearing for the extended order.
