Obtaining a restraining order is a legal process. However, you don't need a lawyer to obtain a restraining order. To obtain the forms, or for information on agencies that can assist you with this process, go to the Los Angeles County Superior Court website.
A civil harassment restraining order can provide you with protection right away. Once you turn in your request, a judge will decide quickly whether to grant temporary protection. The whole process can take a few weeks to months, depending on how complicated your case is.
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.
A significant change in circumstances, such as improved behavior, completion of anger management or counseling programs, or evidence that the risk of violence has diminished, may provide grounds for seeking the dismissal of a restraining order.
