California Response to Request to Renew Restraining Order — Elder or Dependent Adult Abuse Prevention is a legal document used to protect elderly or dependent adults from abuse. It can be used to prevent physical, emotional, financial, and sexual abuse. It is a court order that requires the abuser to stay away from the elderly or dependent adult, and can also include an order to stay away from their home or place of work. There are two types of restraining orders available in California: temporary restraining orders (Bros) and permanent restraining orders (Pros). A TO is valid for up to three weeks, while a PRO is valid for up to five years. In order to renew a restraining order, the petitioner must file a Request to Renew Restraining Order — Elder or Dependent Adult Abuse Prevention form with the court. The court will review the request and may grant the renewal if it finds that the elderly or dependent adult is still at risk of abuse.
