Restraining Order Petitions in California
If you have been named in a restraining order petition, consult with a Riverside restraining order lawyer at once regarding your rights. A competent attorney can explain restraining order laws and discuss how the petition can be challenged. Restraining orders are issued to prohibit a person from contact or communicating with another individual, this includes emails, phone calls and letters, as well as verbal communication. It is a legal remedy that is often used to prevent domestic violence in cases involving spouses, ex-spouses, co-habitants, domestic partners, and people involved in intimate relationships.
Types of Restraining Orders in California
There are various types of restraining orders and protective orders that can be requested depending on the circumstances of the case, including:
- Domestic Violence Restraining Order - Used to prevent contact or communication between two parties involved in a domestic violence case.
- Emergency Protective Order - Issued by law enforcement for 5 days on an emergency basis in domestic abuse cases.
- Criminal Protective Order - Issued by the District Attorney's Office in domestic violence cases.
