Unless your son is being somehow abusive or committing some act of domestic violence as described under the New Jersey Prevention of Domestic Violence Act, you are not able to get a Temporary Restraining Order against him. TROs and FROs are put in place to protect victims of domestic violence from further abuse or violence.
