Restraining Orders
Sometimes a victim of domestic violence needs legal protection to keep another person from physically coming near them or their loved ones. A restraining order is a type of legal protection that prevents an abuser from being able to come within a certain distance of a victim. Refusing to abide by the restraining order is a punishable crime.

Filing a Restraining Order
A victim of violence, harassment, assault, or stalking may be able to file a successful restraining order against the person who has committed these acts. A restraining order could legally require the abuser to:
- Cease all contact with the victim and his or her family
- Stay away from the victim’s home, school, or workplace
- Stop threats and violent acts against the victim
- Refrain from selling marital property
- Refrain from buying or possessing a gun
A restraining order helps protect victims and their families from an individual’s abusive or violent behavior. If the abuser fails to adhere to these provisions, he or she can face criminal charges and legal prosecution. If you are a domestic violence victim, our San Diego restraining order lawyers can help you determine if filing a restraining order is in your best interests.
