Most restraining orders in East County, San Diego, will be held at the East County Superior Courthouse, located at 250 E Main Street, El Cajon, CA. 92020.
Restraining order hearings are complex and require an experienced lawyer, who understands the best way to defend against restraining order allegations. If the court grants a restraining order, the restrained party can face serious consequences. For example, the party may be restricted from having contact with certain people, including their family members. The court can also restrict the party from certain locations, impose firearm restrictions, order the party to move out of their home, as well as impose other orders that may impact their personal freedom.
Under CCP 527.6 Harassment means unlawful violence, a credible threat of violence, or a knowing and willful course of conduct directed at a specific person that seriously alarms, annoys, or harasses the person, and that serves no legitimate purpose. The course of conduct must be such as would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress, and must actually cause substantial emotional distress to the petitioner. CCP 527.6(b)(3)
