Restraining Order Paperwork

Domestic Violence Restraining Order Document Preparation

Document preparation assistance for self-represented Californians who have chosen to request or respond to a domestic violence restraining order.

Help with the paperwork, at your direction

Restraining-order paperwork can be time-sensitive and personal. I can prepare documents from the information and instructions you provide, organize supporting attachments, and assist with filing logistics.

I cannot determine whether you qualify for a restraining order, tell you what allegations to make, advise you how to present your case, or represent you at a hearing. If you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services. For legal advice or advocacy, consult an attorney or qualified legal-services organization.

The goal of document preparation is simply to help you put your own information into organized court paperwork.

Document preparation may include

  • Request paperwork at your direction
  • Response paperwork at your direction
  • Declaration formatting
  • Exhibit and attachment organization
  • Filing assistance
