Restraining Orders in California
If you have been served a restraining order in California, you must adhere to the judge’s orders and stay away from the victim. This includes staying a certain distance away from the victim’s:
- Place of residence
- Place of employment
- Place of education
- Cohabitants, friends, family, relatives and children
In addition, you must also not attempt to contact the victim via phone, email or mail. Failure to follow any of the judge’s orders will not only affect your freedom but may be detrimental to your domestic violence case.
