Terms Used In Indiana Code 34-26-6-11
- Attorney: includes a counselor or other person authorized to appear and represent a party in an action or special proceeding. See Indiana Code 1-1-4-5
- credible threat of violence: means a knowing and willful statement or course of conduct that does not serve a legitimate purpose and that causes a reasonable person to fear for the person's safety or for the safety of the person's immediate family. See Indiana Code 34-26-6-2
- Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
- Plaintiff: The person who files the complaint in a civil lawsuit.
- Temporary restraining order: Prohibits a person from an action that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it may be granted immediately, without notice to the opposing party, and without a hearing. It is intended to last only until a hearing can be held.
(3) modification of a temporary restraining order or an injunction; and
(4) termination of a temporary restraining order or an injunction;
to a law enforcement agency that is requested by a plaintiff and approved by the court. The copies under subdivisions (1) through (4) must be delivered by the close of the business day on which the order is granted. Each law enforcement agency shall make information on the existence and status of an order available to a law enforcement officer responding to the scene of unlawful violence or a credible threat of violence.
