What Constitutes Domestic Violence

Domestic violence can include stalking, repeated telephone calls, threats, physical violence, or other harm. If you are a victim of domestic violence in Yuba City, Marysville, or surrounding counties, a restraining order may be necessary to protect your safety.

Serious Consequences of a Restraining Order

There can be huge ramifications if a domestic violence restraining order is made. You will be listed as an offender and put in the CLETS database for all law enforcement. Licensing agencies can and do review the list of offenders for licensing purposes. You cannot own a firearm nor have possession of a firearm.

A restraining order has serious consequences, so if you need one or are opposing one, you should have legal help. Our Yuba City and Marysville attorneys can represent you whether you are seeking protection or defending against allegations.

Misuse of Restraining Orders

On many occasions, a party will improperly file an application for a restraining order to attempt to obtain an advantage in a custody or property dispute. On other occasions, a party really does need a restraining order, but they do not properly plead the necessary requirements to obtain the order or do not know how to get a temporary order.

Whether you are the petitioner seeking protection or the respondent defending your rights, we can provide experienced legal representation tailored to your situation.
