HOW-TO GUIDES: Filing a Domestic Violence Restraining Order

How to file a Domestic Violence Restraining Order

(Orden de Restricción por Violencia Doméstica)

Are you in an intimate or family relationship with someone who abuses or threatens to abuse you? You can obtain a Domestic Violence Restraining Order from the Court to help protect you.

DO NOT USE this type of restraining order for people outside your immediate intimate or family relationships. Rather, please consider using the Civil Harrassment Restraining Order.

See the California Court's website for more information on Domestic Violence Restraining Orders.
