faq
Domestic violence in California family law includes physical abuse, threats, harassment, stalking, intimidation, sexual abuse, and coercive control. It can occur between spouses, former spouses, dating partners, co-parents, relatives, or household members. Family law courts focus on protecting victims and preventing future harm, even if no criminal charges are filed.
A domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) is a civil court order designed to protect you from abuse, harassment, or threats. The court may issue a temporary restraining order quickly, followed by a hearing where both sides can present evidence. The judge can order no-contact requirements, move-out orders, child custody restrictions, and firearm surrender.

Not always, but courts can issue move-out orders as part of a restraining order. These orders may require one party to temporarily leave the shared residence, even if they own the property. Legal guidance is essential to understand your rights and options before taking action.
