FAQ
One of the primary restrictions imposed by a restraining order in California is prohibiting any form of contact between the individual subject to the order and the protected person.
Key Differences A Harassment Order addresses unwanted behavior that may not necessarily involve physical harm but still causes significant distress to the victim. In contrast, a Restraining Order is typically sought in cases involving a history of violence, physical threat, or other forms of serious harm.
A restraining order is the same thing in New York State as an order of protection. In New York State an order of protection can be obtained through three different means, either through criminal court, family court, or supreme court.
Family Court Order of Protection The burden of proof required is lower, relying on the “preponderance of the evidence” standard. Your presence and active participation in court are necessary. While records are kept private, the courtrooms themselves are open to the public.
Types of proof that can aid in your filing a protective order include: Threatening, violent, or harassing, texts, emails, or voicemails. Previous calls to 911 or domestic violence hotlines.
You start the case by filing a Family Offense Petition. If you need to file for an order of protection outside of family court business hours, local town and city courts can issue temporary orders for family court. You will still need to go to family court after when it is open.
