Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in California

appealing a restraining order

If a person has been granted a restraining order to protect oneself and was granted one, but it is being appealed because the person did not want to relinquish their firearms. How can that be done legally? If it was found to be violent enough to have a restraining order put on them shouldnt the order be enforced and not appealed? How can you protect yourself in thid case when you fear for your own life and the life of your children?

Re: appealing a restraining order

You should speak to a family law attorney. The fact of appeal does not always automatically void the lower court restraining order. There may be circumstances where it may be enforceable regardless of the appeal.
