§2.03 Restraining Orders

After a dependency petition is filed, and until the petition is dismissed or dependency is terminated, you may issue ex parte or noticed restraining orders [WIC §§213.5(a), 304; CRC 5.620(b), 5.630(a), (b); see CCP §527, and form JV-250], including orders that:

• Enjoin a person from molesting, attacking, stalking, or otherwise harming a child or anyone in the household as specified;
• Exclude a person from a dwelling;
• Enjoin a person from contacting, threatening, or disturbing the peace of a child;
• Enjoin conduct against a parent, guardian, or current caretaker; or
• Restrain parents of a dependent child from threatening any social worker who provides services [WIC §340.5; In re Matthew F. (2005) 132 CA4th 883, 888].

You must order that any enjoined party is prohibited from taking any action to obtain the address or location of a protected party or a protected party's family members, caretakers, or guardian, unless there is good cause not to make that order. [WIC §213.7(a).]
