Petitioning for California Civil Harassment Restraining Orders
You have every right to feel safe on a daily basis. You may have suffered physical threats or even actual physical violence. You may have received unwanted text messages, or inappropriate sexually explicit e-mails or messages on social networking sites. These types of conduct are inappropriate and can be stopped. Get protection from abuse and domestic violence.
In California, civil harassment restraining orders can be petitioned under three bases:
- Actual physical harm
- Threat of physical harm
- Stalking
Many civil harassment restraining orders, although valid, are wrongfully denied by the court due to a lack of appropriate pleading. By obtaining a skilled Oakland civil harassment restraining order attorney who can file the necessary pleadings, it will provide more assurance that a judge will grant a civil restraining order.
Defense Against Restraining Orders in California
Allegations can quickly escalate in what may have started out as a verbal argument. Your former spouse could be retaliating against you or you may have a disgruntled partner. Regardless of the situation, you need proper defense against a petition in order to avoid harmful, long-term consequences.
If a petition for a restraining order is granted against you, it can last for up to three years. This will show up with police departments and agencies throughout California and can adversely affect your ability to get a job. For example, a potential employer could run a background check on you and discover the restraining order. It’s not only embarrassing—it’s bad for your career and any future personal relationships. Seek the help of an experienced defense lawyer who can effectively protect your future.
