Case Number:
You Cannot Have Guns, Firearms, And/Or Ammunition.
You cannot own, have, possess, buy or try to buy, receive or try to receive, or otherwise get
guns, other firearms, and/or ammunition while the order is in effect. If you do, you can go to
jail and pay a $1,000 fine. You must sell to or store with a licensed gun dealer or turn in to a
law enforcement agency any guns or other firearms that you have or control. The judge will
ask you for proof that you did so. If you do not obey this order, you can be charged with a
crime. Federal law says you cannot have guns or ammunition while the order is in effect.
Service of Order by Mail
If the judge makes a restraining order at the hearing, which has the same orders as in this form, you will get a copy of that
order by mail at your last known address, which is written in
2
. If this address is incorrect, or to find out if the orders
were made permanent, contact the court.
Child Custody, Visitation, and Support
•
Child custody and visitation: If you do not go to the hearing, the judge can make custody and visitation orders for
your children without hearing from you.
Child support: The judge can order child support based on the income of both parents. The judge can also have that
•
support taken directly from a parent's paycheck. Child support can be a lot of money, and usually you have to pay until
the child is age 18. File and serve a Financial Statement (Simplified) (Form FL-155) or an Income and Expense
Declaration (Form FL-150) if you want the judge to have information about your finances. Otherwise, the court may
make support orders without hearing from you.
•
Spousal support: File and serve an Income and Expense Declaration (Form FL-150) so the judge will have
information about your finances. Otherwise, the court may make support orders without hearing from you.
Instructions for Law Enforcement
This order is effective when made. It is enforceable by any law enforcement agency that has received the order, is shown
a copy of the order, or has verified its existence on the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System
(CLETS). If the law enforcement agency has not received proof of service on the restrained person, and the restrained
person was not present at the court hearing, the agency shall advise the restrained person of the terms of the order and
then shall enforce it. Violations of this order are subject to criminal penalties.
Arrest Required if Order Is Violated
If an officer has probable cause to believe that the restrained person had notice of the order and has disobeyed the order,
the officer must arrest the restrained person. (Penal Code, §§ 836(c)(1), 13701(b).) A violation of the order may be a
violation of Penal Code section 166 or 273.6.
If the Protected Person Contacts the Restrained Person
Even if the protected person invites or consents to contact with the restrained person, the orders remain in effect and must
be enforced. The protected person cannot be arrested for inviting or consenting to contact with the restrained person. The
orders can be changed only by another court order. (Pen. Code, §13710(b).)
This is a Court Order.
