How Can I Respond to a Request for
Domestic Violence Restraining Order?
(Domestic Violence Prevention)
What does the order do?
The court can order you to:
Not contact or harm the protected person, including
children or others listed as protected people
•
Stay away from all protected people
•
Who can ask for a domestic violence
restraining order?
The person requesting the order must have a relationship
with you:
I've been served with a request for domestic
violence restraining order. What do I do
now?
Read the papers very carefully. You must follow all the
orders the judge made. The Notice of Court Hearing tells
you when to appear in court. You should go to the hearing,
if you do not agree to the orders requested. If you do not
go to the hearing, the judge can make orders against you
without hearing from you.
Is there a cost to file my Response (Form
DV-120)?
No.
DV-120-INFO
How Can I Respond to a Request for Domestic Violence
Restraining Order?
Not have any guns or ammunition
•
Move out of the place that you share with the protected
person
•
Follow custody and visitation orders
•
Pay child support
•
Pay spousal support
•
Obey property orders
•
Follow other types of orders (listed on Form DV-100)
•
Someone you date or used to date

•
Someone you live or lived with (more than just a
roommate)
•
A parent, grandparent, sibling, child, or grandchild
related by blood, marriage, or adoption
•
What if I don't obey the order?
The police can arrest you. You can go to jail and pay a
fine. You must still follow the orders even if you are not
a U.S. citizen. If you are worried about your immigration
status, talk to an immigration lawyer.
How long does the order last?
If there is a Temporary Restraining Order in effect, it
will last until the hearing date. At the hearing, the judge
will decide whether to extend the order or cancel the
order. The judge can extend the order for up to five
years. Custody, visitation, child support, and spousal
support orders can last longer than five years and they do
not end when the restraining order ends.
What if I don't agree with what the order
says?
You still must obey the orders until the hearing. If you do
NOT agree with the orders the person is asking for, fill
out Form DV-120
, Response to Request for Domestic
Violence Restraining Order. After you fill out the form,
file it with the court clerk and “serve” the form on the
person asking for the restraining order. “Serve” means to
have someone 18 years or older not you mail a copy to
the other party. The person who serves your form must
fill out Form DV-250
, Proof of Service by Mail. After
Form DV-250 is completed, make sure it is filed with the
court clerk. You will also have a chance at the hearing to
tell your side of the story. For more information on how
to prepare for the hearing, read Form DV-520-INFO
, Get
Ready for the Restraining Order Court Hearing.
What if I also have criminal charges against
me?
See a lawyer. Anything you say or write, including in
this case, can be used against you in your criminal case.
Abuse can be physical or emotional. It can be spoken or
written.
Revised July 1, 2016
What if I do not speak English?
When you file Form DV-120, ask the court clerk if a court
interpreter is available for your hearing. If an interpreter is
not available, bring someone to interpret for you. Do NOT
ask a child, a witness, or anyone to be protected by the
order to interpret for you.
What if I have a gun or ammunition?
If a restraining order is issued, you cannot own, possess,
or have a gun, other firearm, or ammunition while the
order is in effect. If you have a gun or other firearm in
your immediate possession or control, you must sell it to,
or store it with, a licensed gun dealer, or turn it in to a law
enforcement agency. You must also prove to the court that
you turned in or sold your gun. Read

Do I need a lawyer?
You are not entitled to a free court-appointed lawyer for
this case but having a lawyer represent you or getting
legal advice from a lawyer is a good idea, especially if
you have children. If you cannot afford a lawyer, you can
represent yourself. There is free or low-cost help available
in every county. For help, ask the court clerk how to find
free or low-cost legal services and self-help centers in
your area. You can also get free help with child support at
your local family law facilitator's office.

language interpreter services
are available if you ask at least five days
before the proceeding. Contact the clerks’
Can I use the restraining order to get
divorced or terminate a domestic
partnership?
No. These forms will not end your marriage or registered
domestic partnership. You must file other forms to end
your marriage or registered domestic partnership.
What if I have children with the other
person?
The judge can make temporary orders for child custody
and visitation. If the judge makes a temporary order for
child custody, the parent with custody may not remove
the child from California before notice to the other parent
and a court hearing. Read the order for any other
restrictions. There may be some exceptions. Ask a
lawyer for more information.
What if I want to leave the county or state?
You must still comply with the restraining order,
including custody and visitation orders. The restraining
order is valid anywhere in the United States.
Will I see the person who asked for the
order at the court hearing?
Yes. Assume that the person who is asking for the order
will attend the hearing. Do not talk to him or her unless
the judge or that person's attorney says that you can. Any
temporary restraining order made by the court is in effect
until the end of the hearing.

ImportantNoticeaboutAccesstoYourCase
Due to the court closure and significant reduction in services, the court is
unable to provide court orders, minute orders, and child custody mediation
reports in person or by mail; they are only available online using our Public
Case Access System. The court is also unable to provide you with access
to your court file.
Access to court orders and minute orders is the only way to obtain
instructions on how to appear for hearings and trials, and to know what the
court ordered in your case. Access to child custody mediation reports is
necessary so that you know what child custody, visitation, or other
requirements that the mediator recommended to the court.
To get secure access to your case online, you must complete and submit to
the court the attached Family Law Case Participant Enrollment Form -
Party, along with a copy of your driver’s license to get an account to our
Public Case Access System. A separate form must be filed for each case
or when you change your email address.
Once you complete the form, you must submit it in person at the courthouse
(Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) using the Drop Box, or by
US Mail at 3341 Power Inn Road, Sacramento, CA 95826.
Submitting the form immediately is important because it takes:
Three working days for the court to process it if filed by Drop Box
Seven working days for the court to process it after mailing using US
Mail
Once your access is set up you will receive an email letting you know that
you are subscribed to your case. If you do not receive an email notifying
you that you are subscribed to your case during the timeframes identified
above, please inform the court using our Contact Us page at:

Get Ready for the Restraining Order
Court Hearing
At the hearing
Get to court at least 30 minutes
early. Find your courtroom. When it
opens, go in and tell the courtroom
clerk or law enforcement officer you
are present, and the names of any
witnesses, and if the witness needs
an interpreter.
•
•
•
The person to be restrained has not been
served or needs time to get a lawyer or
prepare an answer.
The court may postpone (continue)
your case if:
The judge wants more information or your
hearing is taking longer than planned.
If this happens, you will have to come back another day.
The person who asked for the order may ask the judge to
make the temporary orders last until the new hearing
date. The court might use form DV-116
for the new
hearing.
•
•
For most cases, the judge will make decisions about your
case at the end of the hearing. To decide if the requested
orders should be approved or not, the judge will decide if
the evidence shows that the person asking for protection
is entitled to a restraining order. The judge will consider
the evidence and the safety risks of the adults and
children involved in the case. If the judge makes orders at
the hearing, the orders will be on form DV-130
,
Restraining Order After Hearing.
At the end of the hearing
The court clerk might fill out form DV-130. If so, s/he
will take it to the judge. If not, ask who should fill it
out, and where to file it. After the form is filed, the
court clerk will give you up to 3 copies.
If you asked for the order(s):
You may be at court several hours. It depends on how
many cases there are. Your hearing may last just a few
minutes or over an hour.
Go to the front of the courtroom when they call your
name.
Watch the other cases so you will know what to do.
Do not sit near or talk to the other person. If you are
afraid of the other person, tell the officer.
•
Warning! If you asked for the restraining order but do
not go to the hearing, your temporary restraining order
will end and there may not be a hearing. The court could
make other orders if the other side asks, even if the
restraining order is not granted. To get another
restraining order, you must fill out and file a new set of
forms.
Read the signed form DV-130
carefully. If anything is
different from what the judge said in court, ask the
clerk for help right away. Or talk to your lawyer, if you
have one.
Your temporary orders expire at midnight of the date of
your hearing. File your new order the same day so you
will be protected.
If the court makes the restraining order, the clerk will
send form DV-130
, Restraining Order After Hearing to
law enforcement. Doing this puts your orders in a
database called CLETS. This lets police everywhere in
the state know about the orders.
Important! Always keep a copy of the restraining order
with you.
•
•
•
•
•
In the courtroom
The judge may ask you questions. The
other people in the case and their lawyers
may ask questions, too.
Tell the truth. Speak slowly. Give
complete answers. You can read from
your list.
Try to answer exactly what the judge asks.
If you don’t understand, say “I don’t understand the
question.”
Speak only to the judge unless it’s your turn to ask
questions or the judge tells you to answer a question
from the other person or his/her lawyer.
Do not interrupt anyone! If the other person tells a lie,
wait until s/he finishes talking, then tell the judge.
