- There are two types of harassment orders that you
can request. The simplest way to describe them is
this: if you are being abused physically or verbally,
harassed, annoyed, threatened, stalked or attacked
by someone you are involved in a relationship with -
this is a domestic violence type of restraining
order; and if you are being harassed, annoyed,
threatened, stalked or attacked by someone you are
not involved in a relationship with (like a neighbor
or acquaintance)- this is a civil harassment type of
restraining order.
- First you must determine what type of order you
need. You can obtain the forms for free at the
court's website at www.courtinfo.ca.gov , or at the
courthouse, and fill them out yourself. You must fill
out the forms and them submit them to the judge
and wait for the judge to for sign your request into
an order before you file them. Once filed, you must
have the other side personally served and then file
the proof of service with the court. Again, you
cannot have the papers served by someone who is a
party to the case.
- We can fill out your forms for you and return them
to you for submission to the court. It is best for you
to submit them personally as the judge may want to
speak with you. Once signed into order, you will be
given instructions on how to file them while at the
courthouse. You must them have the other party
served.
If you choose to have us help you with your forms,
we will fill the forms out for you based on your
answers to our questionnaire, and meet you at the
court house with your forms. We will walk you
through the process - we want to help you through
this process. Once filed, we can serve the
documents on the other party for you and file the
proof of service with the court. You can also asked
the judge to have the Sheriff or Marshall serve the
forms for you, and you can ask that the fee for this
service be waived, The judge will determine if you
meet this criteria.
At any point during this process, if you need our
assistance, we will be happy to help you. At
California Document Processors you and your
family's health, safety and welfare is very important
to us.
