California Notice of Court Hearing for Restraining Order is a document issued by the court to inform people of an upcoming hearing on a restraining order petition. It is used to notify the respondent (the person being restrained) of the time, date, and location of the hearing. Depending on the situation, there may be two types of California Notice of Court Hearing for Restraining Order: an Ex Parte Restraining Order hearing and a Temporary Restraining Order hearing. An Ex Parte Restraining Order hearing is a short hearing that occurs without the respondent present, while a Temporary Restraining Order hearing is a longer hearing where both the petitioner (the person seeking the restraining order) and the respondent are present. Both types of hearings require the respondent to appear in court, and the Notice of Court Hearing for Restraining Order will include information about how to do so.
