Corona, California offers various types of Temporary Restraining Orders (TO) specifically designed to protect elders or dependent adults from abuse, including the CLETS-TEA and TEF orders. These orders serve as legal tools to prevent further harm or contact between the abuser and the victim, providing a sense of safety and security. The Corona Law Enforcement Telecommunications System — Temporary Elder Abuse (CLETS-TEA) and Temporary Elder Fermentation (TEF) orders are specialized restraining orders that prioritize the protection of elderly or dependent adults who are victims of abuse. These orders can be obtained from the courts by the victim or their legal representative, allowing them to take legal action against the perpetrator. The CLETS-TEA order is specifically designed to prevent contact or harassment between the abuser and the elderly or dependent adult victim. It requires the abuser to stay a certain distance away from the victim's residence, workplace, or any other designated locations, aiming to create a safe space for the victim to recover and rebuild their life. On the other hand, the TEF order focuses on addressing the financial abuse aspect of elder or dependent adult abuse. It prohibits the abuser from accessing the victim's financial assets, accounts, or properties, ensuring their financial security. The TEF order helps prevent any further economic exploitation or manipulation of the victim by the abuser. Obtaining these restraining orders involves filing a petition with the court, providing evidence of the abuse or mistreatment and explaining the need for immediate protection. It's crucial to seek legal advice or consult with professionals experienced in elder abuse cases to ensure accurate documentation and effective legal representation. Once the court approves the request for a CLETS-TEA or TEF restraining order, it is crucial for the victim to always carry a copy of the order with them, and provide a copy to local law enforcement agencies. This ensures that authorities are aware of the protective order and can enforce it should the abuser violate its terms. In cases where immediate protection is needed, Corona, California also offers Emergency Protective Orders (EPO). These orders can be requested by law enforcement officers at any time of the day or night, outside normal court hours. EPOS provides temporary protection until the victim can obtain a more comprehensive temporary restraining order. Overall, Corona, California recognizes the importance of safeguarding elderly or dependent adults from abuse and provides a legal framework to ensure their protection. The CLETS-TEA and TEF orders offer specific provisions to address different types of abuse and prevent further harm, ultimately aiming to empower victims and improve their overall well-being.Corona, California offers various types of Temporary Restraining Orders (TO) specifically designed to protect elders or dependent adults from abuse, including the CLETS-TEA and TEF orders.
