Understanding Domestic Violence Cases
Domestic violence situations are overwhelming, emotional, and often unpredictable. When safety becomes a priority, you need clear guidance and strong legal protection from a team that understands both the urgency and the sensitivity these cases require. At Moore Family Law Group, our California domestic violence restraining order attorneys help clients navigate these moments with calm, strategic support and steady, grounded communication.
Domestic violence can include physical harm, threats, harassment, stalking, emotional abuse, financial control, or behavior that makes you fear for your safety or your children’s safety. Whether the abuse is recent or has been ongoing, California law provides powerful tools to help protect you and your family, and having the right attorney ensures those tools are used effectively.
What a Restraining Order Can Do
A restraining order is a court-issued protective order designed to create immediate distance and safety. Depending on your situation, a restraining order can prohibit the abusive person from contacting you, require them to stay away from your home or workplace, restrict communication, remove them from a shared residence, and even require the surrender of firearms. It can also address temporary custody, visitation, and child support when children are involved.
If you’d like to review how these protections work in California, the California Courts Self-Help Guide on Domestic Violence Restraining Orders offers a clear overview of the process and available remedies.
These protections can be life-changing, but they must be properly requested, documented, and presented to the court.
How We Build a Strong Case
Our attorneys take time to understand the full context of your situation. We work with you to gather and organize evidence, which may include:
Police reports
Photos of injuries or property damage
Medical records
Threatening text messages, emails, or voicemails
Social media messages
Witness statements
We help present these facts clearly and respectfully so the judge can understand the seriousness of your experience. Domestic violence cases move quickly, and thorough preparation is key to securing lasting protection.
If You Were Served With a Restraining Order
Not every client comes to us seeking protection — some come to us because someone has filed a restraining order against them. These cases can impact:
Your ability to see your children
Your living arrangements
Employment and background checks
Future family law matters
If you were served, it is critical to understand your rights and respond properly. We guide you through the hearing process, explain potential outcomes, and help you prepare a clear and honest defense.
When Domestic Violence Overlaps With Family Law
Domestic violence can influence larger family law issues, especially when children are involved. Judges consider safety when making decisions regarding:
Legal custody
Physical custody
Visitation schedules
Support orders
Move-away or relocation requests
We help you navigate these interconnected decisions and create a plan that protects your long-term stability and your children’s wellbeing.
