Types of Restraining Orders

Restraining orders are designed to protect individuals from harassment, abuse, or threats. In California, three primary types of restraining orders may apply, depending on the circumstances:



  • Domestic Violence Restraining Orders (DVROs): Protects individuals who have experienced abuse or harassment by someone they have a close personal relationship with, such as a spouse, dating partner, co-parent, or family member.
  • Civil Harassment Restraining Orders: Protects individuals from abuse, threats, or stalking by someone who does not have a close personal relationship with them, such as a neighbor, coworker, or acquaintance.
  • Elder Abuse Restraining Orders: Protects individuals aged 65 or older, or dependent adults, from physical abuse, neglect, financial exploitation, or harassment.
