What Is a Domestic Violence Restraining Order in California?
A Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) is a court order that may:
- Prohibit contact
- Require the restrained person to move out of a shared residence
- Grant temporary child custody
- Order child or spousal support
- Restrict firearm possession
DVROs are governed by California’s Domestic Violence Prevention Act and can have serious legal and personal consequences.
Types of Domestic Violence Restraining Orders
Emergency Protective Order (EPO)
Issued by law enforcement in urgent situations and typically lasts up to 7 days.
Temporary Restraining Order (TRO)
Granted by a judge based on initial filings and lasts until the court hearing (usually 20–25 days).
Permanent Restraining Order
After a hearing, a judge may issue an order lasting up to 5 years.
