Domestic violence remains a social problem in California as it does nationwide. This type of family or household violence involves actual acts of harm or threats of harm that place victims in fear of imminent for themselves or their loved ones. It can include shoving, punching, pinching, other harmful physical acts, psychological abuse, verbal abuse, physical restraint, and more.
Domestic violence is distinguished from other types of social violence in that it occurs in family relationships, among household members, or against intimate partners, such as those romantically involved in dating. It is governed by laws separate from those that pertain to other forms of assault or threatened assault.
Those who have suffered domestic violence or its threats can obtain a restraining order by petitioning the family court. A domestic violence restraining order is used to protect you from the abuser. It contains directives and restrictions imposed on the abuser by the court based on the specifics of your case. A family lawyer can help you obtain a domestic violence restraining order and represent you during related court hearings.

Understanding Domestic Violence Restraining Orders
When a person is named as the aggressor in a domestic violence restraining order in Los Angeles, the court may impose specific terms and conditions to ensure the safety and well-being of the victim.
Common terms and conditions can include:
- No Contact: The court may prohibit the aggressor from contacting or attempting to contact the victim in any way, including in person, by phone, email, social media, or through a third party.
- Stay Away: The court may require the aggressor to stay away from specific locations, such as the victim's home, workplace, school, or any other place the victim frequents.
- Move-Out Order: In cases where the aggressor and victim share a residence, the court may order the aggressor to move out of the shared home to maintain the victim's safety.
- Surrender Firearms: If the aggressor possesses firearms or other dangerous weapons, the court may order them to surrender these items temporarily or permanently.
- Counseling or Therapy: The court may require the aggressor to attend counseling or therapy sessions to address anger management, domestic violence, or substance abuse issues.
