How to Obtain a Temporary Restraining Order

California law provides ways for abused individuals to escape from the domestic violence they are experiencing. One form of legal protection is a temporary restraining order. This can prevent your abuser from coming near you or contacting you. If the abuser lives with you, the order may demand that he or she move out of the home.

Contrary to what many people think, you can file for an order of protection even if you have not been physically abused. Intimidation and the threat of abuse are enough to warrant a temporary restraining order. Regardless of your situation, to obtain a temporary protective order against your abuser in California, you will need to go through a series of steps.

The steps for getting a temporary order of protection include:

  • Gathering evidence of abuse
  • Requesting police reports
  • Getting the names of witnesses
  • Going to your local courthouse to request forms
  • Filling out the appropriate forms
  • Submitting your forms to the clerk’s office
  • Scheduling a hearing
  • Serving the notice to the abuser
  • Filing your proof of service
  • Distributing copies of the order
