Does a restraining order keep you from getting a job? |
[Edit]
If the order is a general one, such as "not have contact with children," it will prohibit you from applying for a job that will involve contact with that class of persons. If it is the usual order prohibiting contact with a former spouse or boy/girlfriend, you cannot apply where s/he works.
A restraining order in and of itself will not prohibit you from getting a job, unless it was the result of a criminal complaint filed against you. The criminal complaint/arrest/conviction would permit an employer to decline to hire you. If asked on the application for employment, failure to answer truthfully would be grounds to terminate you or not hire you.
