Would I have to keep my paperwork to show that I have full custody even after the restraining order expires or do I need seperate paperwork?
I was granted a 3 year restraining order on my daughters father. I was also granted sole custody. Do I still have to keep the paperwork to show that I have full custody even after the restraining order expires or do I need seperate paperwork? On the first page of the DV-130 it does say that custody orders have different dates and usually end when the child turns 18.

As a matter of course it is wise to keep all of your paperwork in order to show that you have full cuotody of your child and that there is a restraining order in effect as to your daughter's father. I suggest that as a matter of course you register the restraining order with your local police department. You are correct, custody orders expire when the minor becomes an adult at age 18. You do not need separate paperwork.
