Restraining Orders
A restraining order (also known as a protective order) is a legal order issued by a California court to protect an individual from harm, harassment, or threats. A restraining order can require a person to stay a certain distance away from the person seeking protection, stop contacting them, or take other actions to ensure the safety of the individual requesting the order. Restraining orders are commonly used in cases involving domestic violence, harassment, stalking, or threats of harm.
