Riverside Restraining Orders

A restraining order is an order that is issued by a judge or authorized court official.  Restraining orders protect the safety and well-being of the person filing for the order.  There are many different types of short-term and long-term restraining orders a person can obtain.  When a restraining order is issued, the person listed on the order must adhere to the terms outlined in the order.  If the person does not adhere to the terms of the restraining order, he/she may face legal penalties.  For issues related to family law, the most common type of restraining order is an emergency protective order.     

Emergency Protective Orders

An emergency protective order is a type of restraining order that is issued by a law enforcement officer when there is a family law issue involving domestic abuse, child abuse, child sexual abuse, elder abuse, or child neglect.  This type of restraining order is usually issues after law enforcement has been called to a residence due to a report of abuse.  If law enforcement feels that there is a threat of potential danger after a report of abuse, they will speak with a judge or court official to obtain an emergency protective order.
