In the time leading up to a divorce or separation, it is common for spouses or parents to get into arguments. At times, arguments can escalate into domestic violence or abuse. If you are in an intolerable situation, an attorney can help you seek a restraining order against your abuser.

Restraining Orders and Protection Orders in California
Restraining orders have major consequences to everyone involved. Under California law, a restraining order can order the abuser to avoid contact with you and the children, to move out of the house and to relinquish any firearms. A court will first decide whether or not to grant a temporary restraining order. If the court decides a temporary restraining order is necessary, it will schedule a hearing with 25 days to make a permanent restraining order. If your safety and/or your children's safety is in danger, our law firm will present a powerful argument to the court to show that a restraining order is necessary.
Defending People Against Unnecessary Restraining Orders
Since restraining orders can give one party a substantial advantage in any divorce or custody dispute, it is not uncommon for people to make exaggerated or false allegations in support of a restraining order. If you have been accused of domestic violence, it is important to defend against these allegations immediately. If there is a restraining order against you, it will dramatically impact your rights in child custody proceedings. Our law firm will provide a staunch defense to these allegations at every stage.
