Such orders aim to prohibit the abusive actions and interactions of the alleged abuser, ensuring the safety and well-being of the victim. The Riverside court offers the following types of restraining orders: a. Emergency Protective Order (EPO): An EPO grants immediate protection to the victim while awaiting a full court hearing. Law enforcement officers can request an EPO on behalf of the elderly or dependent adult if they believe immediate action is necessary to prevent further harm. b. Temporary Restraining Order (TO): A TO is obtained by filing a request in court and serves as an interim measure until a full court hearing is conducted. The TO ensures the safety of the elder or dependent adult by preventing the alleged abuser from approaching or contacting them. c. Permanent Restraining Order (PRO): A PRO is granted after a full court hearing, providing more long-term protection. It prohibits the abuser from having any contact or communication with the victim and enforces strict boundaries for a specified duration, ensuring the victim's safety. 2. Requesting a Restraining Order: To obtain a restraining order, the victim or their representative must follow the prescribed process. The Riverside California response to such requests includes the following steps: a. Filing the Request: The victim or their representative must visit the Riverside Superior Court and fill out the necessary forms for the restraining order. They will need to provide detailed information about the alleged abuse and present any supporting evidence. b. Court Hearing: Once the request is filed, the court will schedule a hearing date, generally within a few weeks. During the hearing, both the victim and alleged abuser have the opportunity to present their sides of the case. The court will then decide whether to grant the restraining order. c. Enforcing the Restraining Order: If the court grants the restraining order, it must be officially served to the alleged abuser. Law enforcement agencies play a role in enforcing the order and ensuring that the abuser complies with its restrictions. Failure to comply with the order may lead to legal consequences for the abuser.
