How can I have a temporary restraining order served on someone living in a different state?
Q. They are living in a different state but travel frequently to where I am currently living. They will soon move the city in which i am living. A temporary restraining order has been ordered, but I need to have the order served to this person in a different state so the courts can move forward with a hearing to issue a permanent restraining order.

A. If you DO get them served in another state, it would not be valid where you live. They would HAVE to be served in the state of the jurisdiction of the court issuing such an order.
