Florida - permanent RO limits

What is the name of your state? FL

Hi everyone - i've read the posts about permanent restraining orders - my wife filed one on me <edit> and was granted </edit> for actions that happened quite a while ago (one instance was over ten years ago)
I'm assuming that when she went to her lawyer, she advised her to perform this action - but i'm not sure....

but what i'm worried about is in the long term,
employability(sp) and bondable type things...

do these things drop off your record?
can you get them removed?
are they only applicable to the state that they are drawn on?

thank
tony

I was hoping someone else would respond, but since not.... Which part of "permanent" is confusing? And yes, this could affect any number of opportunities for you - certainly anything that requires a security clearance.

ok

I'm sorry - i didn't make the questions of the post perfectly clear,
highlighted
and CAPITALIZED




- so here they are again.

No, I don't believe that they drop off. Can you get them removed? Possibly, but I have no idea how you would do that. Is it state-specific? Your wife may not be able to enforce it in a different state, but I would bet that if (for example) you were trying to become a cop in a different state - it would sure come up on your background check. I know without a doubt that it will come up if you're given a security clearance check by the Feds.
