Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) Services

 A Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) is a court order designed to protect individuals who have experienced abuse or threats of abuse by someone they share a close relationship with, such as:

• A spouse or former spouse.

• A cohabitant or former cohabitant.

• A dating or intimate partner.

• A co-parent.

• A family member, including parents or siblings.

Under California law (Family Code §6200 et seq.), domestic violence includes physical harm, threats, harassment, stalking, or behavior that disturbs a person’s peace.
