Injunction

A court order prohibiting certain activity. See Temporary Order Temporary Restraining Order
Injunctions are generally "negative," i.e., they prohibit certain activities. Injunctions which require certain activity are called "affirmative" injunctions. Outside divorce, most injunctions are "negative." It would be impossible to enforce certain affirmative orders, such as requiring an opera singer to sing. Affirmative injunctions are more common in divorce cases especially since they relate to minor children, often covering to visitation. Property-related injunctions are also common, usually restricting the sale or transfer of property, borrowing, and spending on non-necessities. See Restraining Order.
