Have you been served a restraining order? Do you need a restraining order for your protection?
A restraining order is often issued when a person brings about accusations of domestic violence, physical or emotional abuse, threats of bodily harm, harassment or stalking against a family member, spouse or partner. It requires the alleged abuser to keep a certain distance from the victim and any children involved. This means the alleged abuser must vacate the home immediately.
California takes a very strict view of domestic abuse or family violence. Even an allegation can have an immediate and detrimental effect on the alleged abuser’s freedom.
Have you been falsely accused of committing domestic violence – as a strategy for the divorce? If you have been abused or threatened, you can apply for an ex-parte temporary protective order, sometimes called a restraining order. If the aggressor violates the order, he or she can be arrested.
