Restraining orders are court orders that prohibit one person from contacting another person. In the state of California, there are various types of restraining orders.

  1. Emergency Protective Order (EPO) – This type of restraining order goes into effect immediately but is not long-lasting. It is generally used in domestic violence instances and gives a person time to apply for a permanent restraining order.
  2. Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) – This type of restraining order also is not long-lasting. The order is typically in force for up to a month. This order goes into effect once a person has actually applied for a restraining order.
  3. Permanent Restraining Order – This type of restraining order goes into effect after a court hearing has taken place and can be in force for typically 3 or 5 years. This type of order can also be extended if a threat still exists.
