A lawyer from our L.A./Orange County family law firm will explain what protection California domestic law provides. If you need a restraining order, the attorney will take the time to analyze your unique situation and present a clear and compelling argument to the judge supporting your request. We serve clients in Southern California communities including Los Angeles, Pasadena, Santa Clarita, Orange County, Santa Ana, San Buenaventura, San Bernardino, and Riverside.
If a restraining order has been filed against you by your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, your child's stepparent, or another person, it is important to get legal advice immediately and protect your relationship with your child and reduce or eliminate the impact on your permanent record.
What can a temporary restraining order include?
A judge has broad discretion as to the terms of a domestic protective order. The document may include a variety of requirements:
- A stay-away order requiring a person to stay away from a home, school, place of business, or other location
- An order to maintain a certain distance from the protected person
- An order not to call (work or home), e-mail, text message, or otherwise contact a person
- An order to refrain from use of drugs or alcohol
- An order for "good will" preventing a parent from damaging a child's relationship with the other parent
- A criminal protective order can specify "no contact"
- A civil harassment order can order a neighbor, roommate, or co-worker to stop harassment
Depending on the type of restraining order, it may be entered on the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) and allow statewide or national access. Our attorneys will work with you to find the best solution.
