If it was a permanent restraining order after hearing then you should probably see if you could file some type of appeal or reconsideration type motion to see if the Judge will hear some very important evidence.

You need to carefully consider this evidence that even if it were true, whether it would make a difference in your case so that the underlying restraining order would not be granted. Its a somewhat high hurdle to reach.

If the hearing was a temporary restraining order hearing then you have time to produce and present the evidence at the eventual trial for the permanent restraining order.

For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.

As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
