What is a Restraining Order?
A restraining order is a legal court order that requires an individual who has threatened, abused or intimidated someone else to keep their distance from this other person. The restraining order can limit how these two individuals interact with each other (i.e., phone calls, emails), it may require them to be in separate locations, and/or provide the abuser/threatener with severe penalties if they violate the restraining order
A skilled restraining order lawyer can also greatly improve your chances of success in court, compared to going into court without an attorney.
Types of Restraining Orders in California
There are many different types of restraining orders available under California law. The main difference among them is based on the nature of the abuse:
- Domestic Violence Restraining Order
- Civil Harassment Restraining Order
- Workplace Violence Restraining Order
- Elder/Dependent Adult Abuse Restraining Order
It is very important to select the correct type of restraining order for each case.
