One FRO found overly broad

Should a Final Restraining Order ban a former husband from being at the same high school soccer game as his former wife? Our Appellate Division recently said NO, where the husband/father had gone to his kids soccer game, without any knowledge that his former wife would be there, had no contact with her, and the Final Restraining Order which barred him from “any other place where plaintiff is located” was overly broad and virtually impossible for defendant to obey at all times. In essence, the father could have been arrested if he had engaged in completely innocent conduct, such as watching his children play soccer, going to their school, or shopping at a grocery store. Unfortunately the case, State v. SK will not be published, and will only have limited precedental value. But stands for the proposition that final restraints must have some reasonable limitations to be enforced.
