How easy is it to get a restraining order

A restraining order comes in two sections : first you get a temporary restraining order from a local police department.  Second, you go to county court and see if there is enough evidence to turn that into a permanent restraining order.  In general though, a restraining order is not meant o be a tool to be used in settling family arguments, it is meant to prevent a vicitim of domestic violence from continuing to be abused.  It is for people who have a genuine fear that a spouse, or family member will harm them.  The fear has to be legitimate, not just that someone is arguing.
