What common variations, twists, and turns happen in these Injunction cases?
If respondent, despite having been served, does not show up, the judge still gets to hold the hearing and decide whether to order an injunction. In that scenario, however, petitioner still has to take the permanent injunction, if it is ordered, to the sheriff or process server and get service, again. If a petitioner fails to show up, and does not have a good reason, usually the injunction request and TRO are dismissed.
Certain injunctions may involve restrictions on firearm possession, and violations of TRO's and injunctions may result in arrest and prosecution. An attorney can help a petitioner present the grounds in a better and more efficient way,and know how to accomplish the proof at the hearing. An attorney can help a respondent oppose an injunction request, and present that defense in court. Respondent's attorney can also attempt a negotiated(agreed upon) solution if a compromise is possible, where both sides achieve the most important goals.
