Legal Question in Family Law in California

Anyone can file a petition for a restraining order. Winning it is another question. When you go to court remind the judge of the prior action.

I suggest you raise the issue by at least filing a notice of related cases. You will need to prepare at least two of them for filing, and file them with each case. You should also raise the issue in your opposition to the request for a restraining order.

The system is one of those systems that helps those who help themselves. The clerk does not check a complaint to see if it should or should not be filed. They pretty much accept everything that is in a reasonably readable format and for which the filing fee is paid. It is up to the litigants themselves, and their attorneys where represented, to raise the appropriate issues with the judge - such as the fact that there was a prior restraining order denied by the judge with prejudice.
