What is a violation of a restraining order, what should I do?

Any person who is named as a defendant may violate the order by harassing, stalking, or assaulting you, or by causing another to do the same. Assess your immediate safety first, call the police if necessary. You may file a violation at the Police Department in the town where the abuse took place or in the:
Justice Complex
120 Hooper Avenue
Room 175
Toms River, NJ 08753

If the defendant refuses to comply with the Judge’s Order for Support, Visitation or Counseling, you or your attorney may file a Motion of Enforcement. Motion Kits to assist you with this are available at the Justice Complex.
