FAQ
A preliminary injunction is temporary relief that preserves the status quo until the courts decide on the merits of the case. The relief sought often involves asking a court to prevent an opposing party from taking specific action or continuing a current course of action.
If the judge decides that there was abuse and that there is also a credible threat to the plaintiff's safety, a final order of protection will be granted and will last for up to one year. The plaintiff will be directed to go to the clerks counter to wait for the order.
The applicant has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that they qualify and need a protective order and the respondent (the person whom you are seeking protection against) has the opportunity to be heard as to why the restraining order shouldn't enter.
If the judge or referee believes you have adequately established the elements of a restraining order (more on that below), it can issue a temporary restraining order. If the order is issued without notifying the other person, it's called an ex parte order.
In most cases, you must have evidence to convince the judge that the person seeking a restraining order is in danger of harm. The danger or harm can include domestic violence, threats, criminal trespass, stalking, and harassment. An adult can file for a restraining order when they believe their safety is in danger.
California law defines abuse as any act that puts you, your children, or another person in immediate fear of injury, as well as any act that causes harm to you or your property. If such harm exists, you can file a request for an order to keep the abuser away.
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.
Temporary Ex Parte Protective Orders These orders generally last up to 20 days but can be extended by the court if necessary, mainly if the final hearing has not yet occurred. In cases where delays in the court process occur, or new threats emerge, the court may grant an extension of the ex parte order.
If by ex parte you mean a hearing where the other side fails to appear despite notice, then you must show that the other side was properly served with notice. You must then present evidence to prove that you are entitled to the relief you have requested.
Generally, temporary restraining orders will expire on the date set by the court. Such date should not exceed 10 days unless the court has good cause for an extension or where the opposing party consents to the extension.
