Civil procedure

temporary restraining order (TRO)

A temporary restraining order (TRO) is a court order requiring the parties to whom it is addressed not to engage in certain activity, or to continue to engage in certain activity, and is usually designed to maintain the current state of things (the status quo) until the court has the opportunity to hear a more complete presentation of the evidence—usually during an application for a temporary injunction that will remain in place while the lawsuit is pending.

In Nebraska, a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) is a legal measure used to provide immediate but short-term protection by ordering a party to refrain from certain actions or to continue certain actions until a hearing can be held. The purpose of a TRO is to maintain the status quo and prevent irreparable harm before the court can fully consider the case. TROs are often used in situations involving domestic violence, harassment, or where immediate harm might occur. To obtain a TRO in Nebraska, an individual must file a petition with the court, usually including a sworn affidavit detailing the need for such an order. The court may issue a TRO without the other party being present (ex parte). If granted, a TRO is typically in effect for a short period, such as 10 to 14 days, until a hearing can be scheduled for a more long-term solution, such as a temporary or permanent injunction. Nebraska state statutes and rules of civil procedure outline the specific requirements and processes for obtaining a TRO.
