How can I get a restraining order in Los Angeles?
There are a few different ways to get a restraining order in Los Angeles County depending on the situation. The police can request an emergency protective order at the scene of a domestic violence call, which will go into effect immediately. Otherwise, you can go to the court yourself to request a temporary restraining order, which will take effect until a full hearing, usually in about three to four weeks. The court will decide at the hearing whether to issue a longer-term Restraining Order After Hearing.
