What can a temporary restraining order include?

A judge has broad discretion as to the terms of a domestic protective order. The document may include a variety of requirements:

• A stay-away order requiring a person to stay away from a home, school, place of business, or other location
• An order to maintain a certain distance from the protected person
• An order not to call (work or home), e-mail, text message, or otherwise contact a person
• An order to refrain from use of drugs or alcohol
• An order for "good will" preventing a parent from damaging a child's relationship with the other parent
• A criminal protective order can specify "no contact"
• A civil harassment order can order a neighbor, roommate, or co-worker to stop harassment

Depending on the type of restraining order it may be entered on the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) and allow statewide or national access. Our attorneys will work with you to find the best solution. Call today: 310.288.1828
