If you have been abused or are a victim of a crime, contact your local police agency or sheriff’s department who will seek an emergency protective order on your behalf.
To request a restraining order from the court, you must complete the appropriate forms and email them to exparte@yolo.courts.ca.gov. The judge will review your request and grant or deny it. The Court will set a hearing in 45 days and email the orders back to the requesting party.
