Temporary Restraining Order I have started a divorce or parentage case. Another party has threatened my safety. What can I do? Important: If there is an emergency, contact law enforcement at 911, or the local number for the police or sheriff. You can ask the court for a Domestic Violence Order for Protection, using the mandatory Domestic Violence pattern forms. Contact the clerk of the court for more information. In a domestic relations case, you can also ask the court to order your spouse or ex-spouse to stop any harassment or to surrender weapons to the police or sheriff. An ex parte order means the court can act the same day as the request is made, even without notice to the other spouse, if necessary to provide safety. A temporary order means a hearing is held first, with notice to the other party, and the order can stay in effect until your dissolution case is finalized (at which time the restraining order can be extended).

Important: To obtain legal advice you should hire a lawyer (for “full service” representation or for “limited” representation) or, if you cannot afford one, contact a low cost or free legal service program. For a referral to a lawyer or a legal service program, call CLEAR (888) 201-1014. If you are the victim of domestic violence, you may also obtain assistance from the Domestic Violence Hotline (800) 562-6025. Your county may also have a courthouse facilitator who cannot provide legal advice, but who can offer limited assistance in completing necessary paperwork.
