Can I get a restraining order in a small claims court case?

No, you cannot get a restraining order in a small claims court case in Nebraska. A restraining order is a court-ordered protection or prohibition of certain actions by one or both parties in a dispute. It is usually used to protect victims of domestic violence, harassment, or stalking. Since small claims court cases are civil matters used to settle mostly monetary disputes, restraining orders are not typically issued. Nebraska has specific legal procedures for filing for a restraining order, which involve presenting detailed evidence to the court. This is normally done in a different court than small claims court. However, in certain circumstances, a small claims court judge may be able to issue a restraining order if it is appropriate for the dispute at hand.
