A Kentucky court won’t enter a restraining order or temporary injunction until you post security.
The bond protects the party you’re restraining if the order turns out wrongful.
The court sets the amount it considers proper — and we underwrite it.
A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.
















A court that grants a restraining order or temporary injunction usually sets the security at the same time and gives you days to post it. Here is the whole process:
Apply online with the order setting the security, the parties, and the amount the court considered proper. If the order isn’t entered yet, send the motion and the amount you expect.
A specialist reviews the order, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The amount is fixed by the court — underwriting decides approval and any collateral, not the penal sum.
Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached, ready to file so the order can take effect.
A temporary injunction or restraining order freezes the other side before the case is decided. If that order later proves wrongful, the restrained party has been harmed — so Kentucky requires the moving party to put up security first.
The injunction bond guarantees the restrained party’s costs and damages get paid if the order is dissolved or shown to have been wrongfully entered. The court sets the amount it considers proper for that risk, in its discretion, and the adverse party can move for more.
Because the surety stands behind that amount, a large penal sum can require collateral and financials. We tell you what a given file needs before you apply, and flag any case where the court sets a nominal or zero bond.
These are the actual underwriting fields — the order setting the security, the parties, your business, and your financials. Submit once and a surety specialist returns a quote, typically within one business day. Free until your bond is issued.
