In California, there are many types of restraining orders. We can help determine which type of restraining order to file in your case or which type of order you must defend against. It is extremely important to make sure that the proper restraining order is used as they all have different requirements, different rules of where they must be filed, and have different possible orders the judge can make. For example:
1. Civil Harassment Orders under CCP§ 527.6 are for harassment where the parties have no relationship.
2. Domestic Violence Restraining Orders under Family Code §6200 are for people with a familiar relationship.
3. Workplace Violence Restraining Orders under CCP 527.8 are for employees.
4. Elder Abuse Restraining Orders under W & I code 15657.03 are for elder adults or dependent adults.
5. Juvenile Dependency and Delinquency Restraining Orders under W& I §213.5 are for parents, children, guardians, social workers, probation officers, or others with interest or relationship to a child.
Let us take the confusion out of the process.
