A domestic violence restraining order in California can provide a broad range of protections and depends on the type of restraining order that is issued. Typically, domestic violence restraining orders can:
- prohibit the abuser from making any contact with you, both in person and through electronic means
- restrict the abuser from coming near your home, workplace, or children’s school
- lead to changes in custody or visitation rights
- require the abuser to move out from the shared residence
- mandate participation in a batterer’s intervention program
It is important to note that every situation is unique, and every restraining order is a bit different. That is why you need an experienced family law attorney on your side to ensure your specific needs are addressed.
