The Neighbor in the Window

Restraining orders in Washington state begin as Temporary orders where as there is typically a ten to fourteen day order enforced before both parties have the opportunity in court regarding a permanent order (typically 1 or 2 years in duration) and its issuance. A judge would never issue a permanent order knowing both neighbors homes buttress each other or their children attend the same school. The order would typically be twenty feet or so and have no verbal contact. The plot holes in this movie only serve to make it believable in move reality but certainly nothing like this happens in real life.
