Family Law court is for people who are ending a marriage or other committed relationship, dividing what they own and owe, working out child custody and visitation issues, dealing with child support or spousal support, addressing domestic violence issues, or identifying a child's legal parents. Often, people involved in court cases need more than just legal help. It's important that you understand what is happening to you and get the help you need. For some suggestions about where to get other help, go to the California Court's Self-Help Center at www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp.htm or check out one of the sites below:

Info / Instructions MC-500 New 3/5/14

The Clerk of the Court cannot accept for filing any papers that do not comply with California Rules of Court 2.100 et seq. (CRC 2.118)

To avoid having your papers rejected by the clerk:

Use Judicial Council forms whenever possible

If you print Judicial Council forms from your computer, print them out single- sided. (Don’t print double-sided unless you know how to tumble the pages). Judicial Council forms can be found at http://www.courts.ca.gov/forms.htm. If the form you need is not on the Judicial Council website, you will have to make your own form which follows these rules

1. White or unbleached paper – 8 1/2 by 11 inches

2. One-sided paper – only one side of each page may be used

3. 12 pt font (Courier, Times New Roman, Arial or equivalent (Handwritten papers are OK – but write legibly)

4. Line spacing - One and one-half or double-spaced (use pleading paper –either the Judicial Council form MC-20 or create your own using the legal template in your word processor)

5. Margins – at least 1 inch from the left edge and ½ inch from right edge

6. Page Numbers – pages must be numbered consecutively on the bottom (1, 2, 3 …)

7. Binding – Original and copies must be firmly bound (e.g. stapled) AND the Original must be 2-hole punched at the top.

You will need the Original document, signed in ink (blue is best), and correct number of identical copies (original for the Court, a copy for each party) for the clerk to file. The Rules are important – Remember - You want the Judge to understand what you have written. Don’t make that impossible by submitting papers that are too hard to read because they are upside down, the print is too small or too light, or the pages have fallen out of the file because they are too small or too large and/or not properly fastened.

•

Stay away from all protected people•

Who can ask for a domestic violence restraining order?The person requesting the order must have a relationship with you:

I've been served with a request for domestic violence restraining order. What do I do now?Read the papers very carefully. You must follow all the orders the judge made. The Notice of Court Hearing tells you when to appear in court. You should go to the hearing,if you do not agree to the orders requested. If you do not go to the hearing, the judge can make orders against you without hearing from you.

Is there a cost to file my Response (Form DV-120)?No.

DV-120-INFO How Can I Respond to a Request for Domestic Violence Restraining Order?

•

A parent, grandparent, sibling, child, or grandchild related by blood, marriage, or adoption

•

What if I don't obey the order?The police can arrest you. You can go to jail and pay a fine. You must still follow the orders even if you are not a U.S. citizen. If you are worried about your immigration status, talk to an immigration lawyer.

How long does the order last?If there is a Temporary Restraining Order in effect, it will last until the hearing date. At the hearing, the judge will decide whether to extend the order or cancel the order. The judge can extend the order for up to five years. Custody, visitation, child support, and spousal support orders can last longer than five years and they do not end when the restraining order ends.

What if I don't agree with what the order says?You still must obey the orders until the hearing. If you doNOT agree with the orders the person is asking for, fill out Form DV-120, Response to Request for Domestic Violence Restraining Order. After you fill out the form, file it with the court clerk and “serve” the form on the person asking for the restraining order. “Serve” means to have someone 18 years or older not you mail a copy tothe other party. The person who serves your form must fill out Form DV-250, Proof of Service by Mail. After Form DV-250 is completed, make sure it is filed with thecourt clerk. You will also have a chance at the hearing to tell your side of the story. For more information on how to prepare for the hearing, read Form DV-520-INFO, GetReady for the Restraining Order Court Hearing.

What if I also have criminal charges against me?See a lawyer. Anything you say or write, including in this case, can be used against you in your criminal case.

Abuse can be physical or emotional. It can be spoken or written.


What if I do not speak English?When you file Form DV-120, ask the court clerk if a courtinterpreter is available for your hearing. If an interpreter isnot available, bring someone to interpret for you. Do NOTask a child, a witness, or anyone to be protected by the order to interpret for you.

What if I have a gun or ammunition?If a restraining order is issued, you cannot own, possess, or have a gun, other firearm, or ammunition while the order is in effect. If you have a gun or other firearm in your immediate possession or control, you must sell it to, or store it with, a licensed gun dealer, or turn it in to a lawenforcement agency. You must also prove to the court thatyou turned in or sold your gun. Read Form DV-800-INFO, How Do I Turn In, Sell, or Store My Firearms?, formore information.

What if I am deaf or hard of hearing?

DV-120-INFO, Page 2 of 2How Can I Respond to a Request for Domestic Violence Restraining Order?


Do I need a lawyer?You are not entitled to a free court-appointed lawyer for this case but having a lawyer represent you or getting legal advice from a lawyer is a good idea, especially if you have children. If you cannot afford a lawyer, you can represent yourself. There is free or low-cost help availablein every county. For help, ask the court clerk how to find free or low-cost legal services and self-help centers in your area. You can also get free help with child support at your local family law facilitator's office.

Can I use the restraining order to get divorced or terminate a domestic partnership?No. These forms will not end your marriage or registered domestic partnership. You must file other forms to end your marriage or registered domestic partnership.

If the judge makes a temporary order for child custody, the parent with custody may not remove the child from California before notice to the other parentand a court hearing. Read the order for any other restrictions. There may be some exceptions. Ask a lawyer for more information.

What if I want to leave the county or state?You must still comply with the restraining order, including custody and visitation orders. The restraining order is valid anywhere in the United States.

Will I see the person who asked for the order at the court hearing?Yes. Assume that the person who is asking for the order will attend the hearing. Do not talk to him or her unless the judge or that person's attorney says that you can. Anytemporary restraining order made by the court is in effectuntil the end of the hearing.

DV-200-INFO, Page 1 of 2Judicial Council of California, www.courts.ca.gov Revised July 1, 2016 What Is "Proof of Personal Service"?


• What orders you are asking forThe hearing dateHow to respond

••

Who can serve?Ask someone you know, a process server, or a law enforcement agency (for example, a sheriff) to personally serve (give) a copy of the orders to the party to be restrained. You cannot send the forms to that person by mail. The server must:

• Be 18 years of age or overNot be you or anyone to be protected by the orders•

How does the server "serve" the legal papers?

Walk up to the person to be served.Make sure it’s the right person. Ask the person’s name. •Give the person copies of all papers checked on form DV-200, Proof of Personal Service.Fill out and sign form DV-200.Give the signed form DV-200 to you.

••

What if the person won't take the papers or tears them up?• If the person won’t take the papers, just leave them near him or her.

It doesn’t matter if the person tears them up. •

• The police cannot arrest anyone for violating an order unless the restrained party knows about the order.The judge cannot make the orders permanent unless the restrained party was served.•

A sheriff can serve the order at no cost to you. A “registered process server” is a business you pay to deliver court forms. Look for “Process Serving” in the Yellow Pages or on the Internet. (Note: If a law enforcement agency or the process server uses a different proof of service form, make sure it lists the forms served.)

Ask the server to:

Why do I have to get the orders served?

What is "service"? Service is the act of giving your legal papers to the other party in the case. There are many kinds of service—in person, by mail, and others. This form is about personal, or “in-person,” service. The Notice of CourtHearing (form DV-109), Request for Domestic Violence Restraining Order (form DV-100), and Temporary Restraining Order (form DV-110) must be served “in person.” That means someone—not you or anyone else protected by the order—must personally “serve” (give) the party to be restrained a copy of the forms. You cannot send them by mail. Service lets the other party know:

Don’t serve it by mail!

DV-200-INFO What Is "Proof of Personal Service"?

•

•

When do the orders have to be served?It depends. To know the exact date, you have to look at two things on form DV-109:

First, look at the hearing date on page 1. Next, look at the number of days written in item on page 2.


Look at a calendar. Subtract the number of days in item from the hearing date. That’s the final date to have the orders served. It’s always OK to serve earlier than that date.

Who signs the Proof of Personal Service?Only the person who serves the orders can sign the Proof of Personal Service (form DV-200). You do not sign it. The person to be restrained does not sign it.

What do I do with the completed Proof of Personal Service?

IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO SERVE THE OTHER PARTY BEFORE THE HEARING,

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

The other party must be served with the restraining order papers BEFORE the Court will hold your hearing. You must have the other party served by the time stated in section 5 of the Notice of Court Hearing (DV-109.)

If you cannot serve the other party you must fill out a Request to Continue Hearing (DV-115) and Order on Request to Continue Hearing (DV-116) to ask the Court for more time to serve the other party. If you fill out forms DV-115 and DV-116, the Court can extend the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and give you more time to serve the other party. If you do not complete and submit forms DV- 115 and DV-116 and receive them back from the court prior to your hearing, you can attend your hearing and ask the judge to continue the court hearing and extend the TRO. If you do not ask the court to continue the hearing and extend your TRO, your TRO will expire on the day of your hearing and you will have to start the process over. For more information, read form DV-115-INFO about how to ask for a new hearing date.

STEPS:

1) Complete the Forms: Fill out the Request to Continue Hearing (DV-115) form and the Order on Request to Continue Hearing (DV-116) and attach both forms to a file stamped copy of the Notice of Hearing (DV-109), Temporary Restraining Order (DV-110) and Request for Order (DV-100.)

2) Drop off your papers at the Court for Judge’s signature: Martinez: 751 Pine Street, Restraining Order Window; Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Pittsburg: Arnason Justice Center, 1000 Center Drive, Self-Help Center Window Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (only if your DV hearing is in Pittsburg.)

Richmond George D. Carroll Courthouse, 100-37th Street Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (only if your DV hearing is in Richmond.)

Court staff will provide instruction on filing your papers.

After you pick up your papers, you will need to have the other party served with a filed stamped copy of your Request to Continue Hearing (DV-115), a file stamped copy of your Order on Request to Continue Hearing (DV-116), a file stamped copy of your original restraining order (DV-109, DV-110 and DV-100) and blank Response to Request for Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DV-120.) SeeDV-200 for information on service.

How to Ask for a New Hearing Date

You may need to ask for a new hearing date if:

What does form DV-115 do?Use form DV-115 to ask the court to “continue” the hearing. If the court continues the hearing and a Temporary Restraining Order (Form DV-110) was issued, that order will be extended until the end of the new hearing date, unless the court decides to modify or terminate it.• “Continue” the hearing means to give you a new hearing date.• “Extend” means to keep any temporary orders in effect until the new hearing date.

Follow these steps:• Fill out all of form DV-115.• Fill out items through on form DV-116, Order on Request to Continue Hearing.• The judge will need to review your papers. In some courts, you must give your papers to the clerk. Ask the court clerk

for information on how you ask the judge to review your papers.• After you turn in your forms as required by your local court, check with the clerk’s office to see if the judge approved

(granted) your request to continue the hearing.• If the judge signed form DV-116, the court will give you a new hearing date. If the judge did NOT sign the form, you

should go to the hearing at the date, time, and location that is shown on form DV-109.• Next, file both forms DV-115 and DV-116 with the clerk. The clerk will make up to three file-stamped copies for you.

Keep at least one copy to bring to court on the hearing date.• The other party must be served a copy of the court papers as described in item on form DV-116. • Ask the person who serves the papers to complete a proof of service form and give it to you. If service was in person,

use form DV-200, Proof of Personal Service. If service was by mail, use form DV-250, Proof of Service by Mail. Make two copies of the completed forms.

• If the court continues the hearing date and extends the expiration date of the temporary restraining order to the date of the new hearing, the clerk will send the restraining order to law enforcement or CLETS for you. CLETS is a statewide computer system that lets police know about the order.

Need help?Ask the court clerk about free or low-cost legal help. For a referral to a local domestic violence or legal assistance program, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233 (TDD: 1-800-787-3224). It’s free and private. They can help you in more than 100 languages.Judicial Council of California, www.courts.ca.gov Revised July 1, 2016 How to Ask for a New Hearing Date

Go to the hearingTake at least two copies of your documents and filed forms to the hearing. Include a copy of the filed proof of service form.Your documents may include exhibits, declarations, and financial statements, which the court may enter into evidence at its discretion.

You are the protected party and are unable to have form DV-109, Notice of Court Hearing, and other papers served in time before the hearing date.You are the restrained party and it is your first time asking the court to continue the hearing and you need time to hire a lawyer to prepare a response. You have a good reason for needing a new hearing date (the court may grant a request to continue the hearing on a showing of “good cause”).

•

•

•

File the completed and signed proof of service form with the clerk’s office before the hearing.•

If the protected party does not go to the hearing, the temporary domestic violence restraining orders will expire on the date and time of the hearing. If the restrained party does not go to the hearing, the court can still make orders against him or her that can last for up to five years.

When should I call the police?

• Write down what happened, when, where, and the names of any witnesses. Get copies of police reports. If you are hurt, get copies of medical reports.

••

Even if you haven’t served the orders yet, call the police. Show the police a copy of your orders. If the restrained person is there, ask the officer to serve the orders. If the officer serves the orders, he or she will send the Proof of Service to the court and CLETS for you. CLETS is a statewide computer system that lets police know about your orders.

What can the police do?It is a crime to disobey the judge’s orders. The restrained person can be arrested, pay a fine, and/or go to jail or prison.

Ask your local district attorney (D.A.) how he or she will handle your case. The D.A. may file criminal or contempt charges. You can always call the D.A. for information about a criminal case. You can also file a civil contempt action. Ask the court clerk for forms or visit www.courts.ca.gov.

Take copies to places where you and the other protected people go (e.g. school, work, daycare, etc.). Give a copy to the security officers in your apartment building and workplace.Staple the restraining order (DV-110 or DV-130) to the Proof of Service (DV-200 or DV-250).

Call the police right away if the restrained person violates any of the orders. Also:

A law enforcement officer can give you information about any firearms the restrained person has registered, transferred, or sold. (Penal Code section 11106). You may disclose the information as needed to protect yourself or someone else. Tell law enforcement if you have any information about any guns the restrained person has or where they are located.

At the hearing Get to court at least 30 minutes early. Find your courtroom. When itopens, go in and tell the courtroom clerk or law enforcement officer youare present, and the names of any witnesses, and if the witness needs an interpreter.

•

•

•

The person to be restrained has not been served or needs time to get a lawyer or prepare an answer.

The court may postpone (continue)your case if:

The judge wants more information or your hearing is taking longer than planned.

If this happens, you will have to come back another day. The person who asked for the order may ask the judge to make the temporary orders last until the new hearing date. The court might use form DV-116 for the new hearing.

•

•

For most cases, the judge will make decisions about your case at the end of the hearing. To decide if the requested orders should be approved or not, the judge will decide if the evidence shows that the person asking for protection is entitled to a restraining order. The judge will consider the evidence and the safety risks of the adults and children involved in the case. If the judge makes orders atthe hearing, the orders will be on form DV-130, Restraining Order After Hearing.

At the end of the hearing

The court clerk might fill out form DV-130. If so, s/he will take it to the judge. If not, ask who should fill it out, and where to file it. After the form is filed, the court clerk will give you up to 3 copies.

If you asked for the order(s):

You may be at court several hours. It depends on how many cases there are. Your hearing may last just a few minutes or over an hour.

Go to the front of the courtroom when they call your name.

Watch the other cases so you will know what to do.

Do not sit near or talk to the other person. If you are afraid of the other person, tell the officer.

•

Warning! If you asked for the restraining order but do not go to the hearing, your temporary restraining order will end and there may not be a hearing. The court could make other orders if the other side asks, even if the restraining order is not granted. To get another restraining order, you must fill out and file a new set of forms.

Read the signed form DV-130 carefully. If anything is different from what the judge said in court, ask the clerk for help right away. Or talk to your lawyer, if you have one. Your temporary orders expire at midnight of the date ofyour hearing. File your new order the same day so you will be protected. If the court makes the restraining order, the clerk will send form DV-130, Restraining Order After Hearing tolaw enforcement. Doing this puts your orders in a database called CLETS. This lets police everywhere in the state know about the orders. Important! Always keep a copy of the restraining orderwith you.

•

•

•

•

•

In the courtroom The judge may ask you questions. The other people in the case and their lawyers may ask questions, too.

Tell the truth. Speak slowly. Give complete answers. You can read from your list.

Try to answer exactly what the judge asks.If you don’t understand, say “I don’t understand the question.”Speak only to the judge unless it’s your turn to ask questions or the judge tells you to answer a question from the other person or his/her lawyer. Do not interrupt anyone! If the other person tells a lie, wait until s/he finishes talking, then tell the judge.

•

• •

•

•

Family Court Sevices If you ask for parenting time (custody and visitation) orders, the court may send both parents to Family Court Services for court-connected mediation or child custody recommending counseling. For more information, see forms: FL-313-INFO, Child Custody Information Sheet—Recommending Counseling, or FL- 314-INFO, Child Custody Information Sheet—Child Custody Mediation. If you are sent to Family Court Services, the judge may extend the date of the orders (or make new temporary orders) to last until your next court date.


Revised January 1, 2016 DV-520-INFO, Page 3 of 3Get Ready for the Restraining Order Court Hearing

After the hearing If you asked for the restraining order, and the court madethe order…

You must have the other person served with a copy of form DV-130. You may have him or her served with a copy of form DV-130 in the courtroom after the hearing or by mail.

If the restrained person was not at the hearing and the new orders are

the same as the temporary order, you may have the other person served with a copy of form DV-130by mail. Ask the server to complete form DV-250.

different from the temporary order, you must have someone serve form DV-130 in person, not by mail. Ask the server to complete form DV-200, Proof of Personal Service, and give it back to you.

Important! You must file a completed form DV-200, Proof of Personal Service, or form DV-250, Proof of Service by Mail. Keep a copy for your records. Keep a copy of the orders with you at all times.

•

•

If you asked for support or child custody/visitation orders, you may also get one of these forms:

Form DV-140, Child Custody and Visitation Order, if the judge ordered child custody or visitation.

Form FL-342, Child Support Information and Order Attachment, or form FL-343, Spousal, Partner, or Family Support Order Attachment, if the judge orders child support and/or spousal support.

What if you are deaf or hard of hearing? Assistive listening systems, computer-assisted real-time captioning, or sign language interpreter services are available if you ask at least five days before the proceeding. Contact the clerk’s office or go to www.courts.ca.gov/forms for Request for Accommodations by Persons With Disabilities and Order (form MC-410). (Civil Code, § 54.8)

Other orders

•

•

If the court made a restraining order against you…

You must obey orders the judge makes at the hearing. Orders are written on form DV-130. If you do not obey them, you could be arrested.

You will be served the Restraining Order After Hearing (form DV-130) at the hearing or within a few days, by mail or in person.

Read the signed form DV-130 carefully when you receive it. If anything is different from what the judge said, ask the court clerk for help right away. Or talk to your lawyer, if you have one.

If you do not receive a copy of the orders within a few days, ask the clerk for a copy.

Review How Do I Turn In, Sell, or Store My Firearms (DV-800-INFO/JV-252-INFO).

Ask the court clerk about free or low-cost legal help. Ask for information at the court about the Self-Help Center or Family Law Facilitator Office.

For a referral to a local domestic violence or legal assistance program, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233 TDD: 1-800-787-3224 It’s free and private. They can help you in more than 100 languages.
