What is the difference between temporary orders and temporary restraining orders?

Temporary Restraining Orders

In family law, sometimes temporary restraining orders are made at the beginning of the case.  These orders are general orders and usually are not specific to the facts of a certain case.  In custody cases between parents who were not married, they are usually limited to an order that the minor child cannot be permanently removed from the state of Ohio.  In divorce cases, temporary restraining orders require that the other party refrain from harassing you at work or at home, selling, hiding or giving away assets, incurring debt in your name, changing beneficiaries of life insurance, canceling health insurance and taking the minor child and permanently leaving the state.
