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.
