2021 Louisiana Laws|Code of Civil Procedure|Art. 3604. Form, contents, and duration of restraining order

  A. A temporary restraining order shall be endorsed with the date and hour of issuance; shall be filed in the clerk's office and entered of record; shall state why the order was granted without notice and hearing; and shall expire by its terms within such time after entry, not to exceed ten days, as the court prescribes. A restraining order, for good cause shown, and at any time before its expiration, may be extended by the court for one or more periods not exceeding ten days each. The party against whom the order is directed may consent that it be extended for a longer period. The reasons for each extension shall be entered of record.  B. Nevertheless, in a suit for divorce, a temporary restraining order issued in conjunction with a rule to show cause for a preliminary injunction shall remain in force until a hearing is held on the rule for the preliminary injunction prohibiting a spouse from:  (1) Disposing of or encumbering community property;  (2) Harming the other spouse or a child; or  (3) Removing a child from the jurisdiction of the court.  C.(1) A temporary restraining order issued in conjunction with a rule to show cause for a protective order filed in an action pursuant to the Protection from Family Violence Act, R.S. 46:2121 et seq., and pursuant to the Protection From Dating Violence Act, R.S. 46:2151, shall remain in force until a hearing is held on the rule for the protective order or for thirty days, whichever occurs first. If the initial rule to show cause is heard by a hearing officer, the temporary restraining order shall remain in force for fifteen days after the hearing or until the judge signs the protective order, whichever occurs last. At any time before the expiration of a temporary restraining order issued pursuant to this Paragraph, it may be extended by the court for a period not exceeding thirty days.  (2) In the event that the hearing on the rule for the protective order is continued by the court because of a declared state of emergency made in accordance with R.S. 29:724, any temporary restraining order issued in the matter shall remain in force for five days after the date of conclusion of the state of emergency. When a temporary restraining order remains in force under this Paragraph, the court shall reassign the rule for a protective order for hearing at the earliest possible time, but no later than five days after the date of conclusion of the state of emergency. The reassignment of the rule shall take precedence over all matters except older matters of the same character.  D. To be effective against a federally insured financial institution, a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction issued in accordance with Subparagraph (B)(1) of this Article shall be served in accordance with the provisions of R.S. 6:285(C). A temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction granted pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall be effective only against accounts, safe deposit boxes, or other assets listed or held in the name of the following:  (1) One or both of the spouses named in the injunction.  (2) Another party or business entity specifically named in the injunction.  E. A federally insured financial institution shall not be liable for loss or damages resulting from its actions to comply with a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction provided that the requirements of this Article have been met.
