California Change to Restraining Order After Hearing is a legal process in which a restraining order is issued after a hearing in a California court. This type of restraining order is typically used in cases of domestic violence or when there is a risk of harm to an individual or their property. There are two types of California Change to Restraining Order After Hearing: Ex Parte and OSC (Order to Show Cause). In an Ex Parte restraining order, the judge may issue a restraining order without the other party being present at the hearing. An OSC restraining order requires both parties to be present at the hearing and the judge will consider evidence before making a decision. Both types of restraining orders are designed to protect the safety of the party that requested the order.
