Yeah, the cops told me on Monday to go to the court house and request the RO. Said they will grant it and there will not be a fee for it.
That's how it happened with me too. Try to see if there is a victim advocate who could help you and come with you on Monday but if you have to go and do it alone, you can do it
When I went for the RO I was really scared, English is my second language and I had visions of his lawyer jumping all over me like on TV.
All I had to do was come in and talk briefly to the judge. The judge was very nice and granted me my RO immediately.
I was tremendously anxious but it went really well so if I could do it, so can you.
The one thing I would recommend is that you stick by the TRO. Any attempt by him to contact you, do not reply or engage him and contact the cops immediately.
