Protecting You and Your Family with a Domestic Violence Restraining Order

Restraining orderDomestic violence restraining orders are intended to help safeguard families who are victims of domestic abuse in California. This protective order is only available in certain circumstances, however. In order to get a domestic violence restraining order, the parties must have either lived together, been in a dating relationship, been married, or are registered domestic partners.

In comparison, the civil harassment restraining order is intended to protect other victims of violence or threats of violence such as a neighbor, co-worker or some other acquaintance. An experienced lawyer can help you understand your full legal options.

Domestic Violence Prevention Act (DVPA)

Under California Family Code section 6200, the Domestic Violence Prevention Act provides the authority to issue a restraining order "for the purpose of preventing a recurrence of domestic violence and ensuring a period of separation of the persons involved…."

Once a restraining order has been issued, it can:

  • Forbid or restrain specific acts of abuse
  • Exclude a person from a dwelling
  • Forbid or restrain other specified behavior
  • And so much more

With a protective order, you may be able to cut off all contact, even eliminate annoying phone calls and access to your property and personal items. When can you file for a domestic violence restraining order in Los Angeles?

Under the DVPA, abuse means one of the following:

  • Intentionally or recklessly causing – or attempting to cause – bodily injury
  • Any form of sexual assault
  • Causing someone to reasonably fear imminent bodily harm to themselves or to another
