How a Temporary Restraining Order Can Affect You
Anyone can file a motion to receive a temporary restraining order by requesting one from the court. From the moment it is granted, the person served cannot approach you or your children, even if it is the children's parent.
Retain Knowledgeable Counsel
Fifteen days after being served, a permanent restraining order hearing commences. Contact an attorney immediately upon receiving notice of the hearing or upon seeking to file for a restraining order.
Restraining orders and charges of domestic violence can have other serious affects on someone's life. These are court orders that must be followed. A person can be charged with a crime for failing to abide by the terms of a court order — even if they didn't understand what the order meant.
When the Law Is Used Unfairly Against You
When a harassment or restraining order is used as leverage to get custody of the children during a contentious divorce, lawyer Pedram Mansouri can aggressively, skillfully and professionally represent your rights while seeking to obtain a just outcome for you and your children.
Under California Law harassment is defined as: unlawful violence, a credible threat of violence, or a knowing and willful course of conduct directed at a specific person that seriously alarms, annoys, or harasses the person and that serves no legitimate purpose. The course of conduct must be such as would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress and must actually cause substantial emotional distress to the victim.
