Requires court to consider results of domestic violence assessment before dissolving certain domestic violence restraining orders.
This bill requires New Jersey courts to consider the results of a domestic violence assessment before dissolving certain restraining orders. It specifically applies when a defendant has two or more restraining orders against them, and the defendant must pay for the assessment. The assessment, conducted by qualified professionals like psychologists or social workers, aims to determine the likelihood of future violence. The court must consider the assessment findings along with other factors when deciding whether to dissolve a restraining order. The assessment results would be kept confidential and would not be shared with the victim.
