Domestic Violence Laws

An important area of family law in California is domestic violence, which refers to domestic abuse against family or household members, particularly intentional or reckless acts or attempts to cause bodily injury.

Note that domestic abuse isn’t just physical; it also covers threats, emotional abuse, harassment, and stalking.

Domestic Violence Restraining Orders

Individuals who fear domestic violence or harm from a domestic partner (spouse, parent, sibling, in-law, etc.) have the right to petition for a restraining order. Generally, restraining orders can be: 

  • Personal conduct orders – prohibits specific acts against the petitioner, such as contacting them, stalking them, disturbing their piece, or reaching out to them in any physical or digital way
  • Stay-away orders – keeps a named person at a certain distance away from where the petitioner lives, where they work, their children’s schools, and important places they go to 
  • Residence exclusion order – orders the restrained person to move out from where the petitioner lives until the court hearing

Restraining orders are enforced by penalties involving jail time and fines.
