I Need A Restraining Order Against Someone In Orange County; What Do I Do??
There are several restraining order options in California. A skilled Los Angeles Restraining Order attorney with experience in Domestic Violence Law will know how to work with the court, law enforcement officers and/or battered women’s shelters to help you take immediate steps and file the right type of restraining order.
California Restraining Order Options
• Emergency Protective Order (EPO). This type of Restraining Order is issued by law enforcement and is valid for 5 days. It is used by domestic violence victims for their immediate protection and safety.
• Domestic Violence Temporary Restraining Order (TRO or DVRO). A California Temporary Restraining Order is in force for three weeks, but it can be made into a permanent restraining order for 1 to 3 years. This is also useful for domestic violence victims.
• Criminal Protective Order (“No Contact” Order). This type of restraining order is obtained through the District Attorney’s office, and is issued in active domestic violence cases. With this order, your abuser cannot call, write, e-mail or contact you at all except through lawyers.
• Civil Harassment Restraining Order (CHO). This restraining order doesn’t need to qualify as a domestic violence restraining order.
It can be used to stop harassment, threats, stalking, etc. by neighbors, roommates and co-workers.
The best way to file a restraining order is to work with an experienced California Restraining Order attorney who will focus on your best interests.
