Sec. 13. (a) The office of judicial administration shall develop forms, instructions, and rules for the scheduling of hearings and other procedures under this chapter. A party to an action under this chapter must use the forms developed by the office of judicial administration.

     (b) A temporary restraining order or an injunction issued for harassment or domestic or family violence under this chapter must be issued on forms adopted and approved by the office of judicial administration and must be consistent with IC 34-26-5-3. However, an order or injunction issued under this section is not rendered unenforceable solely because it is not issued on forms adopted and approved by the office of judicial administration.

Terms Used In Indiana Code 34-26-6-13

  • Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
  • 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.
     (c) Information in a temporary restraining order or an injunction relating to harassment or domestic or family violence must be transmitted to the Indiana data and communication system (IDACS) as required under IC 34-26-5-18.

As added by P.L.133-2002, SEC.57. Amended by P.L.161-2018, SEC.112.
