What Qualifies as Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence or abuse refers to crimes such as harassing, assaulting, striking, injuring or threatening someone within a domestic setting (among members of the same household). Anything from disturbing the peace to intentionally causing bodily injury can constitute domestic violence in California. 

What Is a Restraining Order?

A restraining order or protective order is a court document that requires an individual to stay away from the subject of the order. If you take out a restraining order against someone, they may no longer legally contact you or come near you. Specific types of restraining orders can also be used to force someone to move out of a shared space or stay away from children.

How Do I Get a Restraining Order in San Diego?

In a domestic violence situation, one of the first actions recommended to those at risk (besides getting to a safe location) is obtaining a restraining order against the offender. If you wish to get a protective order in San Diego, take these steps:

• Get the help you need to escape a domestic violence situation, such as calling 911 in an emergency, phoning the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 and going to a safe house.
• Contact Boyd Law for immediate legal assistance in getting a restraining order. Our lawyers answer calls day and night to lend our help getting people out of abusive and dangerous situations.

• Go online, visit a San Diego Superior Court or work with an attorney to fill out and file the Domestic Violence Restraining Order packet. E-file your packet online (fastest way) or file with your local court in person.

As soon as you reach out to Boyd Law, we will help ensure your personal safety and get the legal process started behind seeking a temporary restraining order (TRO) for domestic violence.
