Understanding Civil Harassment Restraining Orders
A Civil Harassment Restraining Order is designed to protect individuals from harassment, threats, violence, stalking, or abuse committed by someone who is not a close family member or someone covered under California's domestic violence laws.
These cases commonly involve:
- Neighbors
- Roommates
- Coworkers
- Friends
- Acquaintances

If you are experiencing ongoing harassment or credible threats, obtaining a court order may help protect your safety and prevent further contact.
