Types of Restraining Orders in California

There are different reasons for filing a restraining order.  In most cases, they are filed due to being threatened or physically harmed.   A restraining order requires civil action that will outline what contact, if any, is permitted between you and the person who has committed violence or issued threats against you.  Victims of domestic violence very often need to have restraining orders placed against the person responsible for the abuse or threat in order to prevent them from approaching within a certain distance, regardless of whether you are at work or home.  The restraining order acts to keep the individual making the threats away from you or your loved one.  Cutter & Lax will be able to help you in taking the appropriate actions to obtain a restraining order so as to ensure both you and your family are protected.

The types of restraining orders for different situations are as follows:

• Emergency Protective Order:  This is a very temporary action and is for domestic violence victims when their safety is threatened.  It is only valid for about 5 days;
• Civil Harassment Restraining Order:  This type is used to stop various types of harassment, threats, or stalking, by people other than ones you live with or who are close relatives;
• Domestic Violence Temporary Restraining Order:  In a family matter involving violence,  this type is effective for about three weeks, but can lead to a permanent restraining order for up to 3 years;
• Criminal Protective Order:  If there is already an active domestic violence cases, this order prevents your abuser from contacting you in any way at all except through lawyers.
