Give Copies of the Following Forms to Each Law
Enforcement Agency Listed on the Order by
Midnight of the Day on Which the Order Was
Issued.
Certified copy of the Temporary Restraining Order
Have a Copy of the Court Papers Delivered to the
Other Party.
You must arrange to have the court papers delivered
to the defendant at least 5 days prior to the hearing,
unless the Judge has shortened the time for service.
This is commonly called service. The scheduled
hearing cannot proceed unless the other side has
received copies of all documents.
You cannot give the papers to the defendant
yourself. The court papers may be delivered (served)
by a licensed process server, the Sheriff, or person
not a party to the action who is at least 18 years of
age. This service is not done by local police
departments.
Sheriffs Office, for service of documents:
(714) 569-3700; 909 N. Main Street, Santa Ana
What Papers Are Delivered?
There are a total of six papers that the defendant
must receive.
Notice of Court Hearing
Certified copy of Temporary Restraining Order
Request for Civil Harassment Restraining
Orders
Response to Request for Civil Harassment
Restraining Orders (blank form)
How Can I Respond to a Request for Civil
Harassment Restraining Orders?
Proof of Firearms Turned in or Sold (blank form)
After Having the Defendant Served, Return the
Completed Proof of Personal Service to the
Court before the Hearing Date.
Give a copy of the completed proof of service for
each law enforcement agency listed on your
order.
File the original Proof of Personal Service with
the clerks office any time BEFORE the hearing
date.
Keep a Certified Copy of the Temporary
Restraining Order with You at All Times in Case
You Need to Show it to a Law Enforcement

Any other protected persons that are listed on the
order should also keep a copy with them. If you are
unable to serve the defendant, you may complete a
Request to Continue Court Hearing and to Reissue
Temporary Restraining Order.
Be Prepared for the Hearing!
You must arrange to have all witnesses and
evidence present at the hearing. It is your
responsibility to have a subpoena served on any
witness in order to guarantee the witness’s presence
at the hearing.
Court proceedings are conducted in English. The
Court cannot always provide interpreters for civil
proceedings. If you will need an interpreter to
understand the proceedings and assure that the
judicial officer will be able to understand what you
have to say, you must arrange to have an interpreter
present.
If you do not know an interpreter, you are welcome
to use the list of qualified interpreters maintained by
the Court. The list is available in the 3
rd
floor offices
of Court Reporter and Interpreter Services at Central
Justice Center. The list contains interpreter names
and telephone numbers so you may contact them
directly and arrange to pay them for their services.
Instructions to Follow after the Hearing for
Permanent Restraining Order.
If the defendant was not present at the hearing,
serve the defendant with a certified copy of the
Restraining Order. Remember, you cannot do the
serving yourself.
After service is complete, have the server
complete and sign the Proof of Personal Service.
Make copies.
Again, the original Proof of Service form must be
filed with the Court.
Provide the following copies to the law
enforcement agencies named on the order:
Certified copy of the Civil Harassment
Restraining Order after Hearing.
Copy of Proof of Personal Service
Keep a copy of the Civil Harassment Restraining
Order after Hearing with you at all times. Any
protected persons should also keep a copy with
them.
CH-100-INFO
Can a Civil Harassment Restraining Order Help Me?
What is a civil harassment restraining
order?
It is a court order that helps protect people from
harassment.
Can I get a civil harassment restraining
order?
You can ask for one if you are worried about your
safety because someone:
Is harassing you
Is stalking you
Has committed acts of violence against you, or
Has threatened you with violence
How will the order help me?
The court can order a person to:
Not harass or threaten you
Not contact or go near you, and
Not have a gun
What forms do I need to get the order?
You must fill out all of Form CH-100, Request for Civil
Harassment Restraining Orders, and Form CLETS-001,
Confidential CLETS Information. If you need
attachments, you may use Form MC-025. You must also
fill out items 1 and 2 on Form CH-109, Notice of Court
Hearing, and items 1, 2, and 3 on Form CH-110,
Temporary Restraining Order (CLETS).
Where can I get these forms?
Judicial Council of California
www.courts.ca.gov
Revised July 1, 2014, Optional Form
Code of Civil Procedure, § 527.6
You can also ask for protection for people who live with
you and family members.
Can a Civil Harassment Restraining Order Help Me?
(Civil Harassment Prevention)
CH-100-INFO, Page 1 of 3
What do I need to do to get the order?
You must go to the superior court in the county where
the harassment took place or the person to be restrained
lives. At the court, ask where you should file your
request for a civil harassment restraining order. (A self-
help center or legal aid association may be able to assist
you in filing your request.)
At the court, give your forms to the clerk of the court.
The clerk will give you a hearing date on the Notice of
Court Hearing form, and if your request for immediate
orders is granted, a copy of the Temporary Restraining
Order signed by a judicial officer.
In a civil harassment case, the court cannot:
Order a person to move out of your residence
Order a person to pay child support to you
Make orders for custody and visitation
If you need these orders, you should proceed under the
Domestic Violence Protection Act. File Form DV-100.
The court also cannot:
If you need these remedies, you must file a civil action.
These instructions cannot cover all of the questions that may arise in a particular case. If you
do not know what to do to protect your rights, you should see a lawyer.
Order a person to pay money that he or she owes
you
Order someone to move out of rental property
that you own
Order someone to stop creating a nuisance that
doesn't involve harassment
You can get the forms from legal publishers or on the
Internet at www.courts.ca.gov. You also may be able to
find them at your local courthouse or county law library.
How much does it cost?
That depends on the type of harassment. If the restrained
person has used or threatened to use violence against
you or has stalked you, you do not have to pay a filing
fee; otherwise, you must pay the fee.
If you cannot afford to pay the filing fee, ask the clerk
how to apply for a fee waiver. Form FW-001 is available
for this purpose.
If the order is based on prior acts of violence, a credible
threat of violence, or stalking, you are entitled to free
service of the order by a sheriff or marshal. Also, if you
are eligible for a fee waiver, you can ask the sheriff or
marshal to serve the order for free. If you are not eligible
for free service, you may pay the sheriff or marshal to
serve the order.
Do I have to go to court?
Yes. Go to court on the date the clerk gives you.
Do I need a lawyer?
Rev. July 1, 2014
Can a Civil Harassment Restraining Order Help Me?
(Civil Harassment Prevention)
CH-100-INFO, Page 2 of 3
Having a lawyer is always a good idea, but it is not
required and you are not entitled to a free court-
appointed attorney. Ask the court clerk about free and
low-cost legal services and self-help centers in your
county
.
What if the restrained person does not
obey the order?
Call the police. The restrained person can be arrested
and charged with a crime.
How soon can I get the order?
If you ask for a temporary restraining order, the court
will decide within 24 hours whether or not to make the
order. Sometimes the court decides sooner. Ask whether
you should wait or come back later to get the signed
Notice of Court Hearing and Temporary Restraining
Order.
How long does the order last?
If the court makes a temporary order, it will last until
your hearing date. At that time, the court will decide to
continue or cancel the order. The order could last for up
to five years.
How will the person to be restrained know
about the order?
Someone age 18 or older—not you or anyone else to be
protected by the order—must “serve” (give) the person
to be restrained a copy of the order. The server must then
fill out Form CH-200, Proof of Personal Service, and
give it to you to file with the court. For help with
service, ask the court clerk for Form CH-200-INFO,
What Is “Proof of Personal Service?”.
The court may or may not let witnesses speak at the
hearing. So, if possible, you should bring their written
statements under oath to the hearing. (You can use
Form MC-030, Declaration, for this.).
Do I need to bring a witness to the court
hearing?
Witnesses are not required, but it helps to have more
proof of the harassment than just your word. You can
bring:
Witnesses
Written statements from witnesses made under oath
Photos
Medical or police reports
Damaged property
Threatening letters, e-mails, or telephone messages
Will I see the restrained person at the court
hearing?
If the person comes to the hearing, yes. But that person
does not have the right to speak to you. If you are afraid,
tell the court officer.
Can I bring someone with me to court?
Yes. You can bring someone to sit with you during the
hearing. But that person cannot speak for you in court.
Only you or your lawyer (if you have one) can speak for
you.
CH-100-INFO
Can a Civil Harassment Restraining Order Help Me?
What if I am deaf or hard of hearing?
For help in your area, contact:
[Local information may be inserted.]
Assistive listening systems,
computer-assisted real-time
captioning, or sign language
interpreter services are available if
you ask at least five days before the
hearing. Contact the clerk’s office or
go to www.courts.ca.gov/forms for
Request for Accommodations by
Persons with Disabilities and
Response (Form MC-410).
(Civ.Code, § 54.8.)
Can I agree with the restrained person to
cancel the order?
No. Once the order is issued, only the judge can change
or cancel it. You or the restrained person would have to
file a request with the court to cancel the order.
What if I don't speak English?
When you file your papers, ask the clerk if a court
interpreter is available. You may have to pay a fee for
the interpreter. If an interpreter is not available for your
court date, you should ask someone who is not listed as a
person to be protected on your Request and who is over
age 18 to interpret for you .

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO COMPLETE THE COVER SHEET
To Plaintiffs and Others Filing First Papers. If you are filing a first paper (for example, a complaint) in a civil case, you must
complete and file, along with your first paper, the Civil Case Cover Sheet contained on page 1. This information will be used to compile
statistics about the types and numbers of cases filed. You must complete items 1 through 6 on the sheet. In item 1, you must check
one box for the case type that best describes the case. If the case fits both a general and a more specific type of case listed in item 1,
check the more specific one. If the case has multiple causes of action, check the box that best indicates the primary cause of action.
To assist you in completing the sheet, examples of the cases that belong under each case type in item 1 are provided below. A cover
sheet must be filed only with your initial paper. Failure to file a cover sheet with the first paper filed in a civil case may subject a party,
its counsel, or both to sanctions under rules 2.30 and 3.220 of the California Rules of Court.
To Parties in Complex Cases
. In complex cases only, parties must also use the Civil Case Cover Sheet to designate whether the
case is complex. If a plaintiff believes the case is complex under rule 3.400 of the California Rules of Court, this must be indicated by
completing the appropriate boxes in items 1 and 2. If a plaintiff designates a case as complex, the cover sheet must be served with the
complaint on all parties to the action. A defendant may file and serve no later than the time of its first appearance a joinder in the
plaintiff's designation, a counter-designation that the case is not complex, or, if the plaintiff has made no designation, a designation that
the case is complex.

To Parties in Rule 3.740 Collections Cases. A "collections case" under rule 3.740 is defined as an action for recovery of money
owed in a sum stated to be certain that is not more than $25,000, exclusive of interest and attorney's fees, arising from a transaction in
which property, services, or money was acquired on credit. A collections case does not include an action seeking the following: (1) tort
damages, (2) punitive damages, (3) recovery of real property, (4) recovery of personal property, or (5) a prejudgment writ of
attachment. The identification of a case as a rule 3.740 collections case on this form means that it will be exempt from the general
time-for-service requirements and case management rules, unless a defendant files a responsive pleading. A rule 3.740 collections
case will be subject to the requirements for service and obtaining a judgment in rule 3.740.

Case Number:
Instructions for Law Enforcement
Enforcing the Restraining Order
This order is enforceable by any law enforcement agency that has received the order, is shown a copy of the order, or has
verified its existence on the California Restraining and Protective Orders System (CARPOS). If the law enforcement
agency has not received proof of service on the restrained person, the agency must advise the restrained person of the
terms of the order and then must enforce it. Violations of this order are subject to criminal penalties.
Arrest Required if Order Is Violated
If an officer has probable cause to believe that the restrained person had notice of the order and has disobeyed the order,
the officer must arrest the restrained person. (Pen. Code, §§ 836(c)(1), 13701(b).) A violation of the order may be a
violation of Penal Code section 166 or 273.6. Agencies are encouraged to enter violation messages into CARPOS.
Start Date and End Date of Orders
This order starts on the date next to the judge’s signature on page 4. The order ends on the expiration date in item on
page 1.
4
At the hearing, the judge can make restraining orders against you that last for up to five years. Tell the judge why you
disagree with the orders requested.
Whether or not you file a response, you should attend the hearing. If you have any witnesses, they must also go to the
hearing.
If the Protected Person Contacts the Restrained Person
Even if the protected person invites or consents to contact with the restrained person, this order remains in effect and must
be enforced. The protected person cannot be arrested for inviting or consenting to contact with the restrained person. The
order can be changed only by another court order. (Pen. Code, § 13710(b).)
Notice/Proof of Service
The law enforcement agency must first determine if the restrained person had notice of the order. Consider the restrained
person “served” (given notice) if (Pen. Code, § 836(c)(2)):
The officer sees a copy of the Proof of Service or confirms that the Proof of Service is on file; or
The restrained person was informed of the order by an officer.
An officer can obtain information about the contents of the order and proof of service in CARPOS. If proof of service on
the restrained person cannot be verified, the agency must advise the restrained person of the terms of the order and then
enforce it.

Temporary Restraining Order (CLETS-TCH)
(Civil Harassment Prevention)
CH-110, Page 5 of 6
This is a Court Order.
If more than one restraining order has been issued, the orders must be enforced according to
the following priorities
(see Pen. Code, § 136.2; Fam. Code, §§ 6383(h)(2), 6405(b)):
1. EPO: If one of the orders is an Emergency Protective Order (form EPO-001) and is more restrictive than other
restraining or protective orders, it has precedence in enforcement over all other orders.
2. No Contact Order: If there is no EPO, a no-contact order that is included in a restraining or protective order has
precedence over any other restraining or protective order.
3. Criminal Order: If none of the orders includes a no contact order, a domestic violence protective order issued in a
criminal case takes precedence in enforcement over any conflicting civil court order. Any nonconflicting terms of
the civil restraining order remain in effect and enforceable.
4. Family, Juvenile, or Civil Order: If more than one family, juvenile, or other civil restraining or protective order
has been issued, the one that was issued last must be enforced.

What IsProof of Personal Service?
What is “Service”?
Service is the act of giving your legal papers to the other party. There are many kinds of service—in person, by mail, and
others. This form is about personal or “in-person” service. The Request for Civil Harassment Restraining Orders (Form
CH-100), the Notice of Court Hearing (Form CH-109), and the Temporary Restraining Order (Form CH-110) must be
served “in person.” That means that someone must personally “serve” (give) a copy of the forms to the person to be
restrained. These forms cannot be served by mail.
Judicial Council of California, www.courts.ca.gov
Revised January 1, 2012, Optional Form
Service lets the other person know:
What orders you are asking for
The hearing date
How to respond
Who can serve?
Ask someone you know, a process server, or a law enforcement agency to
personally serve (give) a copy of the forms to the person to be restrained. You
cannot send the forms to that person by mail.
The server must:
Be 18 years of age or older
The sheriff or marshal may be authorized to serve the court’s orders for free if the
orders are based on claims of stalking, unlawful violence, or a credible threat of
violence, or if you are entitled to a fee waiver.
A “registered process server” is a business you pay to deliver court forms. Look for
“Process Serving” in the Yellow Pages or on the Internet.
Dont serve it by mail!
(If a law enforcement agency or the process server uses a different proof-of-service
form, make sure it lists the forms served.)
How to serve
Ask the server to:
Walk up to the person to be served.
Make sure it is the right person. Ask the person’s name.
Give the person copies of all papers checked on Form CH-200, Proof of Personal Service.
Fill out and sign the Proof of Personal Service form.
Give the signed Proof of Personal Service to you.
Not be you or anyone whom you are asking to be protected by the orders

Why do I have to get the orders served?
The police cannot arrest anyone for violating an order unless that person knows about the order.
The judge cannot make the orders permanent unless the restrained person was served.
What if the person won’t take the papers or tears them up?
If the person won’t take the papers, just leave them near him or her.
It doesn’t matter if the person tears them up. Service is still complete.
.
It depends. To know the exact date, you have to look at two things on Form CH-109, Notice of Court Hearing:
First, look at the hearing date on page 1 of Form
CH-109.
When do the orders have to be served?
Look at a calendar. Subtract the number of days in from the hearing date. That is the final date to have the orders
served. It is always OK to serve earlier than that date.
If nothing is checked or written in , you must serve the orders at least five days before the hearing.
What do I do with the completed Proof of Personal Service?
Make several copies.
File the original with the court before your hearing
.
Ask the clerk to enter it into the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS), a special
computer system that lets police all over the state find out about the orders protecting you.
If the clerk tells you that the court cannot enter it into the computer, take a copy of the Temporary Restraining
Order (Form CH-110) and Proof of Personal Service (Form CH-200) to your local police. They will put the
information into the state computer system. That way, police all over the state will know that your restraining
order has been served.
Bring a copy of the completed Proof of Personal Service to your hearing.

What happens if I can't get the orders served before the hearing date?
Before your hearing, fill out and file Form CH-115, Request to Continue Court Hearing and to Reissue Temporary
Restraining Order. This form asks the court for a new hearing date and makes your orders last until then. Ask the clerk
for the form. After the court has reissued the orders, attach a copy of Form CH-116, Notice of New Hearing Date and
Order on Reissuance, to a copy of your original orders. Ask the clerk to enter Form CH-116 into CLETS, or the clerk
may ask you or your attorney to deliver a copy to the police. That way, the police will know your orders are still in
effect.

What if I don't agree with what the order
says?
You still must obey the order until the hearing. If you
disagree with the orders the person is asking for, fill out
Form CH-120, Response to Request for Civil
Harassment Restraining Orders, before your hearing
date and file it with the court. If you need to include
attachments, you can use Form MC-025. You can get

has been or is being:
The court can order you to:
The police can arrest you. You can go to jail and pay a
fine.
I've been served with a request for civil
harassment restraining orders. What do I
do now?
Read the papers served on you very carefully. The
Notice of Court Hearing tells you when to appear in
court. There may also be a Temporary Restraining
Order forbidding you from doing certain things. You
must obey the order until the hearing.
Will I see the person who asked for the
order at the court hearing?
Can I bring a witness to the court hearing?
What if I don't speak English?
When you file your papers, ask the clerk if a court
interpreter is available. You may have to pay a fee for
the interpreter. If an interpreter is not available for your
court date, bring someone to interpret for you. You
should ask someone age 18 or older to interpret for you.
Do I need a lawyer?
Having a lawyer is always a good idea, but it is not
required, and you are not entitled to a free court-
appointed attorney. Ask the court clerk about free and
low-cost legal services and self-help centers in your
county.
What if I have a gun?
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.
Can I agree with the protected person to
cancel the order?
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.
Yes. You can bring witnesses or documents that support
your case to the hearing. But if possible, you should also
bring the witnesses’ written statements of what they saw
or heard. Their statements must be made under penalty
of perjury. You can use Form MC-030 for this.
If the court issued a temporary restraining order before
the hearing, it will last until your hearing date. At that
time, the court will decide to continue or cancel the
order. Any order issued at the hearing can last for up to
five years.
How long does the order last?
For help in your area, contact:
[Local information may be inserted.]
What if I am deaf or hard of hearing?
Assistive listening systems, computer-
assisted real-time captioning, or sign
language interpreter services are
available if you ask at least five court
days before the hearing. Contact the
clerk’s office or go to
www.courts.ca.gov/forms for Request
for Accommodations by Persons with
Disabilities and Response (Form
MC-410). (Civ. Code, § 54.8.)
No. Once the order is issued, only the judge can change
or cancel it. You or the protected person would have to
file a request with the court to cancel the order.
