Restraining Orders

Irvine Family Lawyers

For a person who is being harassed or abused, a restraining order can offer immediate protection from further harm. This is a type of court order that prohibits a certain person from contacting, harassing, or performing other specific actions in regard to another person or persons. In an instance of alleged domestic violence, for example, Mary could obtain a restraining order against Bob, which would prohibit Bob from contacting Mary or even coming within a certain distance of her, her home, or her place of work. If Bob violated the court order, he would face arrest and possibly criminal charges.

Restraining orders have serious consequences, and it is important to understand how to obtain one and how to challenge one.
