A restraining order is a court order directing someone to follow certain conditions, or to not do certain things. The scope of restraining orders can be wide.
A court can direct someone’s action, or restrict how people deal with property. Some common restraining order mandates include orders to:
- Not contact someone.
- Not enter a family home.
- Not remove children from a certain state or area.
- Not sell marital property.
- Not possess or buy a firearm.
Judges can tailor restraining orders depending on what’s needed in a given case. Terms must be reasonable and needed to give protection to the applicant/victim.
The process for obtaining a restraining order can be difficult and it is best to consult with an attorney. Telephone us today at 925-432-3511 or complete our form located here for a free analysis.
