Victims: A Restraining Order Is The First Step

Sacramento considers domestic violence a serious offense. Even the threat of violence against you or your children may be enough for you to file for a restraining order. In California, there are three basic types of restraining orders and each one serves a unique purpose:

• An emergency protective order (EPO) must be requested by a member of law enforcement and can be done at any time. It is usually given when someone is in immediate danger of harm and is effective immediately for a period of one week.
• A temporary restraining order (TRO) is usually granted when someone is in immediate danger before a judge has the opportunity to hear both sides of the case. It can last for up to 25 days and often leads to a permanent restraining order.
• A permanent restraining order is granted by a judge if they feel as though the party who requested it is in long-term, immediate danger. The orders may vary, and they can last up to 5 years.

If you think you may need help but you don’t know where to turn, whom to trust or how to move forward, call the Law Office of Richard Eldridge. We have decades of experience helping men, women and children protect themselves from violent situations, and we can help you determine what’s best for you and your children. We can be the fierce advocate you deserve.
