Types of Restraining Orders in California

There are varied reasons for filing a restraining order. Normally, they are filed due to a person being threatened or harmed. A restraining order is a civil action that will delineate what contact (if any) is permitted between the person who has committed violence or issued threats against another person. Victims of domestic violence will on occasion have restraining orders placed against the person responsible for the violence or threat in order to prevent them from coming within a certain distance of them, regardless of where they might be. The restraining order serves to keep the individual making the threats away from you or your loved one. Cutter & Lax will assist you in taking the proper actions to obtain a restraining order to ensure both you and your family are protected.

The types of restraining orders fall into the below categories:

Domestic Violence Temporary Restraining Order: For a domestic violence victim, this type is normally effective for three weeks, but can be made into a permanent restraining order for up to 1 to 3 years;
Emergency Protective Order: This type is for domestic violence victims for their immediate protection and safety when a threatening situation is clearly present. It is only valid for 5 days;
Civil Harassment Restraining Order: This type is used to stop harassment, threats, or stalking, by roommates and co-workers or neighbors;
Criminal Protective Order: Issued in active domestic violence cases. With this order, your abuser cannot contact you in any way at all except through lawyers.
