What Is a Restraining Order in California?
In California, a restraining order (also called a protective order) is a court order designed to prevent one person from contacting, threatening, or harassing another. These orders can significantly affect your life—including your ability to live in your home, see your children, or even own firearms.
At Tiemann Defense, we handle both sides of restraining order cases:
- Petitioners (those seeking protection)
- Respondents (those defending against an order)
No matter what side you’re on, we fight hard to get results.
Types of Restraining Orders in California
California law allows for several types of restraining orders. Understanding the differences is crucial:
1. Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO)
For individuals who have been abused or threatened by someone they have a close relationship with—such as a spouse, partner, co-parent, or family member. This is the most common type of restraining order.
2. Civil Harassment Restraining Order
For cases involving neighbors, roommates, acquaintances, or even strangers. Civil harassment orders apply when there is stalking, threats, or harassment but no domestic relationship.
3. Elder or Dependent Adult Abuse Restraining Order
Available to protect individuals aged 65+ or dependent adults who are victims of abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation.
4. Workplace Violence Restraining Order
Filed by an employer to protect an employee from threats or violence at work. These are commonly used in cases of stalking or harassment by coworkers or customers.
