What Is A Domestic Violence Restraining Order?
The state of California provides different options to protect people from harassment and abuse. When a victim is in a relationship with the alleged harasser, they can seek a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO).
A domestic restraining order will provide protection for both the petitioner and any children involved. It can order the alleged offender to stay a specified distance away, refrain from calling or texting the petitioner and even prevent alleged abusers from returning to the family home (if it is shared with the petitioner). A DVRO will also require that the alleged offender give up their firearms and be prevented from obtaining new ones.
Our Carlsbad restraining order attorneys can guide you through the process of filing a restraining order and represent you at any subsequent hearings. Our lawyers will also protect your rights if a restraining order is filed against you.
Restraining Orders And Divorce Proceedings
With decades of experience across a spectrum of California family law cases, our attorneys are well-equipped to represent you in a divorce or child custody scenario in which domestic violence allegations are a factor. Any type of domestic violence restraining order will have an effect on a pending divorce action. A DVRO can set parameters for visitation, including ordering that visitation be supervised. It can also establish child support and address any other relevant issues.
