California Divorce Violence Restraining Order
A divorce violence restraining order, also known as a
domestic violence restraining order in the context of
divorce, is a legal court order issued to protect an
individual, often a spouse or partner, from physical,
emotional, or psychological abuse by their estranged or
soon-to-be-ex-spouse during divorce proceedings or
afterward.
These orders are granted when there is evidence of
domestic
violence, including threats, physical harm, harassment,
or
intimidation within the context of a divorce or
separation.
The order typically mandates that the abusive party must
stay
away from the victim, their home, workplace, and any
children
involved, while also prohibiting contact and
communication.
The primary goal is to ensure the safety and well-being
of
the victim and any dependents during the sensitive
period of
divorce or separation. Violating such an order can
result in
legal consequences for the abusive party.
