Temporary Restraining Order (T.R.O.)

A civil court grants a temporary restraining order, 2004 California Rules of Court Rule 359 - Preliminary injunctions and bonds. Restraining orders may be granted in situations where there have been past or present acts of violence, resulting in physical injury or substantial emotional distress. Additional information about TRO’s and required forms can be obtained by accessing http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov.

Upon obtaining a T.R.O., make sure a certified copy, along with proof of service, is on file at the Yuba Community College District Police Department. In cases of domestic violence, or demonstrated financial need, the cost of filing a T.R.O. is waived. T.R.O.s are only temporary. The court can grant, upon a hearing showing good cause, a longer-term “Order After Hearing.”
