What is a Restraining Order?
A domestic violence restraining order, or protective order, is a court order that helps protect victims of domestic violence from someone they have a close relationship with. Family law restraining orders are limited to parties who are married, divorced/separated, have/had a previous dating relationship, are parents of a child together, or have a close familial relationship.
A civil harassment restraining order may be obtained between parties without one of these specified relationships, but is governed by a different set of laws.
These orders require the person they are levied against to remain a certain distance away from the protected person for a designated amount of time. A restraining order also generally contains a no-contact order, which prohibits the restrained party from contacting the protected party in any way.
Cage & Miles can assist you with either a domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) or a civil harassment restraining order (CHRO).

Know Your Options for Protection
Family law restraining orders in California can contain a variety of orders outside of the basic no-contact order that parties expect. Depending on the relationship between victim and abuser, custody orders, support orders, orders regarding pets, kick-out orders, and a multitude of other orders are available.
At Cage & Miles, we work quickly to aid victims of abuse and can work with the courts on your behalf to obtain an order that affords you the maximum possible protection. We understand the immense emotional damage that can be done in cases of abuse, and we work hard to help victims obtain the safety they so desperately need. We have experience handling all types of family law issues and can work to put these laws to work to protect you and your loved ones from those who would wish to harm you.

A Domestic Violence Attorney Can Help
Regardless of which side of the restraining order you're on, there are legal complexities and nuances to every domestic violence family law matter.

What Is Considered Abuse in California?
California courts and the California Family Code have long recognized the fact that domestic violence is not limited to physical harm. Abuse includes, but is not limited to, threats of physical harm, stalking, harassment, disturbing the peace, financial abuse, emotional abuse, and coercive control.
