How Do I Get a Restraining Order in California?

A Domestic Violence Restraining Order can be filed by anyone involved in an intimate relationship (married, used to date, had intimate relations, lived together—not as roommates, are parents of a child in common) or are related by the second degree (parent-child; grandparent-grandchild; siblings; aunt-nephew, for example).

Under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act, an act of abuse includes:

  • Physically attempting to or actually hurting someone else
  • Any form of sexual assault
  • Threats to hurt someone
  • False imprisoning or restraining someone's movements
  • Harassing, stalking, impersonating, or disturbing someone's peace

Protection from abuse can include those whom live with you, including pets, getting a kick-out order if you live with the abuser so you can have exclusive use of your dwelling, and getting group phone lines with the abuser separated.

WHAT DO OUR CLIENTS
HAVE TO SAY?

  • I can't thank her and her staff enough for the peace of mind they gave me.

    “Joy Kraft Miles is a kind, warm-hearted professional. Joy's knowledge of the law is more than impressive. I came to her with a heavy heart and the fear of having to go through a custody battle. Joy immediately put me at ease like a warm blanket on a cold day. Her staff was very helpful and accommodating, I never ended a phone call with questions afterward. After 4 months of waiting, we finally went to court and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Joy really made things go easier than anticipated. I can't thank her and her staff enough for the peace of mind they gave me.”

    Steven

  • She was a kind listener when I was at my lowest and she even cracked a few jokes to make me laugh!

    “Going through a lawsuit sucks--especially divorce--but Marcia, and her staff, were in my corner the entire time and that helped me get through it.”

    Jems

  • I met with Joy and she put my mind at ease.

    “I met with Joy and she put my mind at ease. My biggest concern was my kids and being protected for our future. She guided me in what was to come and advised me that it's going to be a process with everything that myself and my husband had going on. She was willing to work with me and I truly appreciated that. She also let me know that for part of what I was going through, I didn't need a lawyer. She was trying to save me some money. Who does that nowadays? She was very sympathetic to my situation and showed that she really cared. Once my current situation is dealt with I will be going to her to file my divorce.”

    Susan

  • Joy is a knowledgeable attorney and incredibly generous with her time and point of view.

  • I am beyond grateful to have had Joy represent me. She is very knowledgeable, caring, and professional.

    “There is no doubt that Kraft Miles Law Corporation will go above and beyond with representing you! When I first came to Joy, I felt very concerned that a false civil harassment restraining order could potentially affect my personal record and prospective job opportunities. At the initial consultation, Joy was very straightforward and guided me through my options. She also took into consideration my personal situation and was able to provide affordable pricing. As the firm took on my case, all of the staff were very patient. They answered all of my questions and followed up with me to ensure that I had everything filed on time. With this being my first time in court, Joy explained to me how the hearing would go and what the different outcomes would be. Joy eased my anxieties and helped me feel very confident with fighting this case. I am beyond grateful to have had Joy represent me. She is very knowledgeable, caring, and professional. I would absolutely recommend the Kraft Miles Law Firm for anyone going through a difficult time and in need of family law services!”
