Grounds for Restraining Orders
Many clients choose to file a restraining order during the course of their domestic violence trial. However, these legal orders can be filed against an abuser, no matter their relation to you. Restraining orders can provide further legal protection for “protected persons,” or victims and their loved ones who have been threatened or otherwise harassed by another party. The type of actions that these court orders can address include:
Physical abuse
Sexual abuse
Stalking
Harassment
Verbal threats
Text or technology-based threats
Protect What Matters Most
What Restraining Orders Do
In the state of California, you are able to seek different forms of restraint for your protection. Personal conduct orders can apply to both the protected person and their loved one and order the abuser to cease certain behaviors and actions. A stay-away order requires a minimum amount of distance between the protected person and the restrained person at all times. You may also seek a residence exclusion order that requires the restrained person to move out from where the protected person lives and to only remove personal belongings until a court hearing. This last form of order can only be asked for in cases of domestic violence or abuse of elders or dependents.
Legal Support for Safety Measures
Modern Standards for Proof
Providing proof for a restraining order has changed in recent years to accommodate reasonable evidence, such as disturbing the peace and threats on social media. These developments mean that victims have more ways to prove the harassment and abuse they have experienced, especially if abuse is not limited to physical assault.
