DV Restraining Order FAQ

Common questions

Is this a law firm?

No. CA Legal Help is a legal advertising and lead-generation website. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Your inquiry may be shared with a participating California law firm for review.

What does a case review cost?

Requesting a case review through this website is free. A participating law firm will explain any fees during your consultation.

How quickly do I need to act?

Family law cases run on court deadlines — for instance, there's usually a limited time to respond after being served, and custody or support matters can be urgent. A participating family law firm can explain the deadlines that apply. This is general information, not legal advice.

How fast can I get a restraining order?

California courts can issue emergency protective orders quickly when there's an immediate threat, followed by a hearing. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating firm can explain the process.
