Legal Question in Family Law in California
Injunctive orders
I am filing an order to show cause for child custody. I also want to have my ex restrained from talking to any background investigators (I am going into law enforcement). She has admittedly lied to past investigators. Do I check the injunctive order box to request this be done?

Dear Inquirer:
Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client relationship, unless a written retainer agreement is executed by the attorney and client. This communication contains general information only. Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client communication nor legal advice. There likely are deadlines and time-limits associated with your case; you should contact an attorney of your choice for legal advice specific to your personal situation, at once.
If you haven't already done so, please visit my

The site contains quite a bit of general information about California Family Law, Tenants' Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, as well as information about me (education, experience, et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).
NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --
Yes. And put all the FACTS (without editorializing) in your supporting declaration. Recognize, however, that the injuctive relief that you are seeking is difficult to get because it limits the restrained party's constitutional rights. His/her PAST conduct must be quite egregious to restrain POSSIBLE FUTURE conduct.
Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry with us on LawGuru, and good luck with your case.

You can try but it is difficult to get an injunction on speech due to the 1st amendment protection of free speech. I would alert your potential employers of your past experiences and have proof to refute the anticipated falsehoods-Martin
