A restraining order is an injunction that prohibits two individuals from having contact or communication. These orders are issued by judges following a violent incident between the two parties.
A temporary restraining order can be issued immediately, without a hearing and without any notice to the other party. This can prevent a person from returning home; even if it is only to gather some personal belongings while the charges are resolved.
