Restraining Orders Helping Oregon Families Through Their Toughest Times

How Long Does a Restraining Order Last?

A restraining order lasts for 1 year from the date the judge signs it unless it is canceled or dismissed. Orders can be renewed for 1 year at a time if the judge agrees that you and/or your children are still in imminent danger.

To renew an order, you must file paperwork before the restraining order is set to end. You can dismiss a restraining order at any time by filing the appropriate paperwork at the court. The order will remain in place until the judge dismisses it.

Does a Restraining Order Go on Your Record?

If you receive a restraining order, it will likely appear on your record if it goes from being a temporary order to a permanent one during the court hearing. If the petition for a permanent restraining order is denied, then it is possible that the order will be expunged from your record.

Modifying a Restraining Order

At any point after a restraining order has been entered, you can make modifications and file paperwork to ask the court to change or remove terms affecting custody and parenting time.

If you ask for a modification that removes a term or makes it less restrictive, the judge may sign the order without requiring a hearing. A motion to modify a restraining order is typically because the protection order is too broad or restrictive.
