Domestic Violence Lawyers in Orange County

Restraining Order Defense Attorneys in Orange County, California

A restraining order may be issued against you if you have been charged with domestic violence. This is a court order that is enforced by a judge basically restraining you from contacting the alleged victim of abuse in any way.  If you and the alleged victim are married and you reside together, then regardless of whether or not your name is on the lease, rental agreement or on the housing deed you must move out immediately. In addition, if you and the alleged victim have any children together, all contact with your children must cease until the outcome of your case is decided in court and/or a family law judge orders child custody arrangements and/or visitation. 

A restraining order may also state that you must stay a certain distance away from the victim’s residence, place of employment, place of education, children, family members and any other places they are known to frequent. Not contacting the alleged victim in any way means precisely that. You must restrain form contacting them by telephone, cell phone, email, fax, mail, courier or any other third party.
