Restraining Orders for Domestic Violence
If you are living in an abusive home situation, you may not know where to turn or what to do. You might feel that any action you take would be noticed by your partner, resulting in more violence against you. Your friends and other family members may offer you considerable amounts of advice, some of which could be useful and some not. But advice will not do anything to immediately alleviate some of the danger in which you find yourself.
Contact a knowledgeable San Jose divorce lawyer at the Law Office of Daniel Jensen, P.C., by calling 408-296-4100 to discuss your situation what possible actions might be of help. A restraining order, for example, might compel the abusive party to cease and desist. You shouldn’t feel alone and helpless when help is only a simple phone call away.
Grounds for Filing a Restraining Order
In the state of California, there are numerous situations that you or your children could be in that would be grounds for asking for a restraining order against your abusive partner. These could be:
- Aggressive harassment
- Physical assault
- At-home abuse
- Verbal threats
Once you request the order, a police officer will serve the document to the violator and it will be filed in the California Law Enforcement Telecommunication System, or CLETS. Then, if your spouse does not adhere to the order, they may be arrested by law enforcement officials who can determine that there is a restraining order on file while they are in the field.
