Served With Restraining Order Papers?
When someone requests a restraining order, the person receiving the papers may have an opportunity to respond before the court hearing. The response may include declarations, supporting documents, witness information, and other paperwork.
Response paperwork may vary depending on whether the case involves domestic violence, civil harassment, elder abuse, workplace violence, or another type of restraining order.
