Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
I recently went through a messy divorce. During the proceedings (even though the divorce was settled before seeing a judge) my ex accused me of harrasing her, as part of her legal wrangling. These charges resulted in a TRO, wich was subsuquently dropped along with the false charge, as soon as apposing council got what they wanted. My question is, in New Jersey, will this bogus charge show up on my background check? I am applying for a position that runs back ground checks.

A civil, domestic violence complaint which is dismissed will not show in a record check. A criminal charge will show up until it is expunged in Superior Court.

I agree with the previous answer that a TRO which is dismissed will not show up unless you were arrested by the police.
