A restraining order is a court order requiring a person to do (or not do) certain things. In the context of online abuse, a restraining order prevents the perpetrator from further contacting and harassing the victim.
Legal Distinctions: Restraining orders are filed in civil court, while protective orders are issued in criminal court, often in domestic violence cases.
The judge needs facts to make a decision. For example, if the person has been harassing you, tell the judge what the person did to harass you, like how many times they harassed you, and what they did each time to harass you. If you have proof (like an email or a text message), you can include it with your request.
Can You Sue for False Domestic Violence Allegations in California? Yes, you can sue an accuser for false domestic violence allegations in certain cases. It is possible to open a civil case for things like defamation if the allegations harm your reputation.
Permanent protective order - These orders are issued after the court has gone through all the legal proceedings and reviewed all evidence. Permanent protective orders can be life-long standing orders that the accused person must obey.
Using the facts of the incident only, keep your statement brief and to the point. Briefly describe the most recent incident of abuse and/or threats of abuse or other behaviors. Focus on the actual behavior. Do not include prior incidents, (that will be the next paragraph).
California law defines abuse as any act that puts you, your children, or another person in immediate fear of injury, as well as any act that causes harm to you or your property. If such harm exists, you can file a request for an order to keep the abuser away.
A significant change in circumstances, such as improved behavior, completion of anger management or counseling programs, or evidence that the risk of violence has diminished, may provide grounds for seeking the dismissal of a restraining order.
Lack of Jurisdiction The respondent can argue that the court does not have jurisdiction to issue a restraining order. This defense can be raised, for instance, if the alleged incidents of domestic violence or harassment did not occur within the jurisdiction of the court.
