What Can a Temporary Restraining Order Include?
A judge has broad discretion as to the terms of a domestic protective order, which may include a variety of requirements such as, but not limited to, the following:
- A criminal protective order can specify "no contact"
- An order to refrain from use of drugs or alcohol
- A stay-away order requiring a person to stay away from a home, school, etc.
- 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
- A "good will" order preventing a parent from damaging a child's relationship with the other
- A civil harassment order can order a neighbor, roommate, or co-worker to stop harassment
Has a Restraining Order Been Issued Against You?
If a restraining order has been filed against you by your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, child's stepparent, or another person, it is important to get legal advice immediately and protect your relationship with your child and reduce or eliminate the impact on your permanent record. 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.
