California Domestic Violence Laws. In the State of California, as in many other states, “Restraining Orders” and “Protective Orders” mean exactly the same thing.
However, restraining orders are handled in civil courts and have a lower burden of proof. For a domestic violence restraining order, the burden of proof is a “preponderance of the evidence.” You must show, by a preponderance of evidence, that the court should rule in your favor.
Anyone seeking such an order must be prepared to present some evidence in addition to their own written statements and testimony in Court. This standard means that the Court must see photographs, text messages, e-mails or any other physical evidence that can support claims made by the Petitioner.
The whole process can take a few weeks to months, depending on how complicated your case is. If the judge grants you a long-term restraining order, it can last up to five years.
