Now that you have both submitted your paperwork to the court, the next step is to attend the hearing on the restraining order. The restraining order will not be granted or denied based upon the papers alone, since many times they contain information that is not relevant or inadmissible evidence.

You should have an attorney to assist you with the restraining order hearing and to argue the proper evidence and to object when necessary. You can get attorney fees if you are the winning party in a 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.
