How Restraining Orders Are Obtained in California

In California, restraining orders, such as domestic violence restraining orders (DVROs) and civil harassment restraining orders (CHROs), are typically obtained through a court process. The process generally involves the following steps:

Filing a Petition

A petitioner files a court petition detailing alleged threats or harassment, including specific incidents, dates, and supporting evidence.

1

Serving the Respondent

The respondent is formally notified of the petition via official service of a summons and petition copy.

2

Court Hearing

Both parties present their cases, with evidence and testimony, to the judge.

3

Court Decision

The judge decides whether to issue a temporary or permanent restraining order based on the evidence presented and credibility assessment.

4

We will work to build a strong case that meets that standard and protects your rights.

What Are the Consequences of Being Issued a Restraining Order?

A restraining order has serious legal and personal consequences for the respondent, and it is important to understand these fully. The specific consequences can vary depending on the type of order and its terms, but they generally include:

  • Contact Restrictions

    Limitations on communication, proximity, and location access are common, with violations leading to serious penalties.

  • Criminal Charges

    Violating the order is a crime, resulting in fines and/or imprisonment, depending on the severity.

  • Life Disruption

    Employment, relationships, and daily activities may be affected by restrictions.

  • Weapon Restrictions

    Possession of firearms or other weapons may be prohibited.

  • Civil Suits

    You could face lawsuits and financial penalties for violating the order.

For non-citizens, the order may also negatively impact immigration status, leading to a host of complications.

    Avvo review

  • Hands down the best. Jason was competent, knowledgeable and extremely effective. I had a difficutlt move away custody case. Jason listened carefully to all the details and was able to translate that into the proper legal format and terminology crafting an approach that resulted in a better outcome than I could have even hoped for. Along the way he was responsive, professional and reassuring. I highly recommend Jason and his team.
