A quick definition of Restraining order:

A restraining order is a legal order that tells someone to stop doing something to another person. It's often used in cases of domestic violence. It's like a rule that the court makes to protect someone from harm. Sometimes it's called a temporary restraining order because it's only for a short time. In some states, people can ask for a restraining order if they've been hurt or threatened by someone else.

A more thorough explanation:

A restraining order is a legal order issued by a court that prohibits a person from taking certain actions towards another person. It is also known as a temporary restraining order (TRO). Restraining orders are commonly used in cases of domestic violence.

For example, if someone is being physically or emotionally abused by their partner, they can go to court and request a restraining order. The order would prohibit their partner from contacting them, coming near them, or engaging in any other behavior that could harm them.

Restraining orders are similar to preliminary injunctions, but they are usually issued more quickly and without notice to the person being restrained. In order to obtain a restraining order, the person seeking it must show that they would suffer immediate and irreparable harm without it.

Each state has its own laws regarding restraining orders, but they are generally available to victims of domestic violence, stalking, harassment, and other forms of abuse. In California, for example, a person who has suffered harassment can seek a temporary restraining order and an order after hearing prohibiting harassment.
