Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I have filed for a civil harassment (ch-100)restraing order. His attorney has not given me any information re: his witnesses.I have produced everything I have to his attorney. He had not filed a reponse. I did not recieve it for 2 weeks after the first hearing. The last hearing they got continued to bring in all their witnesses. I had mine there.They did not mention any witnersses in the response and did not mention until we were in front of judge. I know nothing about who or what they have to say.Dont I have a right to discovery?If so how can I force them to produce something in regards to what they are saying?Also there is a temp order in effect. He has not turned in his weapons or removed the cameras like the order says. He has verbally threatened me once and I had him arrested for that. How can I have him turn in his guns before the next court date in feb?How can I enforce the temp order? Thanks for your time.
