The AI checks your answers before you download

14 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Case Number Consistency Across Pages

This check verifies that the 'CASE NUMBER' field is populated on both page 1 and page 2 and that the values are identical. This is crucial for ensuring all pages are correctly associated with the same legal case file. If the numbers are missing or mismatched, it could lead to filing errors and misidentification of the order.

Order Expiration Date Validity

Validates that the expiration date in Section 2 is a valid future date and is not more than one year from the hearing date, as specified by the form's instructions. This is a legal requirement for the order's term. An invalid or out-of-range date would make the order unenforceable or legally incorrect, requiring correction by the court.

Hearing Date Format and Plausibility

This check ensures the 'on (date)' field for the hearing is a validly formatted date (e.g., MM/DD/YYYY) and that the date is not in the future. An order cannot be issued for a hearing that has not yet occurred. This validation prevents logical impossibilities and ensures the record accurately reflects past events.

Modification Date Logic

If the 'Modification of Previous Order' checkbox is selected, this validation ensures the associated date field is populated. It also checks that this modification date is chronologically before the main hearing date. This maintains the logical sequence of events, as a modification hearing must occur after the order it intends to modify.

Attorney Presence Requires Name

This validation checks that if either the 'Attorney for operator present' or 'Attorney for participant present' checkbox is ticked, the corresponding name field is not empty. This is essential for creating a complete and accurate record of who was present at the hearing. An incomplete record could be challenged or cause confusion later.

Program Misconduct Rule Number Entry

This check verifies that for each type of program misconduct checked in Section 3 (e.g., 'drunkenness', 'theft'), the corresponding '(rule no.)' field is populated. This links the general violation to a specific program rule, which is necessary for the order's clarity and enforceability. A missing rule number makes the order vague and difficult to enforce.

Common Mistakes in Completing TH-130

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Omitting or Mistyping the Case Number
The case number is the primary identifier linking the order to the correct court file, yet it's often mistyped or left blank, especially on the second page. This error can cause the document to be rejected by the clerk, misfiled, or deemed unenforceable because it cannot be tied to a specific case. To prevent this, carefully copy the case number from existing case documents and ensure it is entered identically on the top of both page 1 and page 2.
Entering an Invalid Order Expiration Date
Item 2 specifies that the order's expiration date cannot be more than one year from the hearing date, a rule that is frequently overlooked. Entering a date further than one year in the future can invalidate the order's duration, requiring a corrected version to be resubmitted to the court, causing delays. Always double-check this date to ensure it complies with the one-year maximum period to guarantee the order's validity.
Failing to List All Restrained Individuals by Name
The order is only enforceable against the individuals explicitly named in Item 1, 'To participant (names of all to be restrained or excluded)'. A common mistake is to list only one person when the order should apply to a whole family unit, or to misspell a name. This oversight means law enforcement cannot enforce the order against the unnamed or incorrectly named individuals, undermining its purpose. Ensure every person to be restrained is listed with their full, correct legal name.
Using Vague or Incomplete 'Stay Away' Addresses
Items 5 and 6 require precise addresses for 'Stay away' and 'Move from program site' orders, but people often enter vague descriptions like 'the main facility' instead of a full street address. This ambiguity makes it impossible for law enforcement to determine the exact boundaries of the prohibited zone, rendering the order unenforceable. Always provide a complete and unambiguous street address, including city and zip code, for all locations listed.
Not Specifying Violated Program Rule Numbers
In Item 3, after checking a box for a type of misconduct like 'theft' or 'violence', there is a space to enter the specific program rule number that was violated. Filers often check the box but neglect to provide the corresponding rule number from the program's regulations. This omission weakens the order by making the prohibited conduct less specific, which can create challenges in future enforcement or contempt proceedings.
Incorrectly Marking Judicial Finding Checkboxes
The checkboxes in Item 7 represent the judge's specific legal findings, which are required to support certain orders like exclusion from a property. The person preparing the order may misunderstand the judge's ruling and check the wrong box or fail to check a necessary one. An incorrect finding can invalidate the most critical parts of the order, so the preparer must carefully confirm the judge's stated findings before marking these boxes.
Failing to Identify Law Enforcement Agencies for Service
Item 8 requires listing the specific law enforcement agencies that must receive and enforce the order, but filers may forget to list the correct agencies or provide incomplete addresses. If the designated agencies (e.g., local police, county sheriff) do not receive a copy, they will be unaware of the order and unable to enforce it. Research and provide the full name and correct address for all relevant law enforcement agencies to ensure the order is effective.
Illegible Handwriting on a Non-Fillable PDF
This form is often available as a non-fillable PDF, leading people to fill it out by hand, which can result in illegible entries for names, addresses, and dates. Poor handwriting can lead to critical data entry errors by court clerks and make the order difficult for law enforcement to read and enforce, potentially leading to its rejection. Using a tool like Instafill.ai can convert the form into a fillable version, ensuring all information is clear, legible, and accurate.
Omitting the Original Order Date for a Modification
The form includes a checkbox and date field to indicate if it is a 'Modification of Previous Order.' When modifying an existing order, filers sometimes check the box but forget to enter the date of the original order being modified. This omission creates ambiguity in the court record and can cause confusion or delays in processing the modification. To avoid this, always include the date of the prior order when filing a modification.

To issue an order requiring you to move, the court must find clear and convincing evidence that you abused someone and that great or irreparable injury would result if the order were not issued. This finding is noted in Item 7 of the form.
If I am ordered to move out, can I take my personal property?
Yes, Item 8, which covers the order to move from the program site, specifies that the participant shall take their personal property with them.
