There are other types of restraining orders that do not involve domestic violence. These include:
- Civil Harassment Restraining Orders: These orders protect individuals from a person harassing them who
is not a family member and who they have not had a dating relationship with. There are filing fees for
civil harassment restraining orders unless the person seeking the restraining order qualifies for a fee
waiver because of low income or in the event that violence is alleged. Judicial Council forms for
temporary restraining orders may be accessed by
clicking here.
- Elder or Dependent Adult Abuse Restraining Orders: These orders apply to individuals who fall under the
definition of elderly or dependent adults and are seeking protection from abuse. THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR
THESE RESTRAINING ORDERS. Judicial Council forms for temporary restraining orders may be accessed by
clicking here.
- Workplace Violence: These orders are filed by the business owner or manager of the business to protect
the employees or individuals who work for a business where there has been violence or threats of violence.
There are filing fees for workplace violence restraining orders unless the person seeking the restraining
order qualifies for a fee waiver because of low income or in the event that violence is alleged. Judicial
Council forms for order to show cause and temporary restraining order may be accessed by

- Private Postsecondary School Violence Restraining Orders: This type of order must be requested by a
chief administrative officer of the institution that the student attends or is applying to when there are credible
threats of violence against the student. The chief administrative officer is the principal, president or highest-ranking
official of the private postsecondary educational institution and is normally represented by the institution’s official
lawyer. Judicial Council forms for private postsecondary school violence restraining orders may be accessed by

- Firearms Restraining Orders: The Gun Violence Restraining Order prohibits a person subject to this restraining order from
having in his or her custody or control, own or possess, or receive any firearms or ammunition while the order is in effect.
The petitioner must convince the Judge that the person to be restrained poses a significant danger in the near future of
causing personal injury to himself/herself, or another person by having in his/her custody or control, owning, purchasing,
or receiving a firearm. The petitioner also must convince the Judge the restraining order is needed to prevent personal
injury to the person to be restrained or to another person because less restrictive alternatives either have been tried
and haven’t worked or are inadequate or inappropriate for the current circumstances. For more information on how to file
a Gun Violence Restraining Order, please see the following:
