Does a person who a restraining order is against have to have been served by a court before the order is grant?

my friend was "issued" a restraining order against him because he was dating a seventeen year old female when she wasn't supposed to be dating. Her dad said he wouldn't issue it if they broke up they did but he supposedly did anyway my friend hasn't been before a court yet does he have to be for the restraining order to be in effect?

Yes. To my knowledge he must be served for it to be binding on him. That was my experience anyway. If anything happens and it goes to court before he gets served, the judge will likely drop any charges and then have him served at the courthouse.

No, he does not need to appear before a judge in order for the restraining order to be in effect, as soon as he has been served/issued the restraining order, it is in effect.

He can appeal it if he likes, but the chances are slim that he will have it reversed.

i dont think so but then again im not to sure. but why would it matter if they broke up. and if they broke up to please her dad and he still filled an order; then in reality it wouldnt matter as long as the girl didnt complain and her dad didnt see them together. also why is your friend worried about an under age female any way thats not cool at all
