The CH-110 form is California's official Temporary Restraining Order for civil harassment restraining order cases. This court-issued document provides immediate, temporary protection for individuals at risk of harassment, stalking, or threats of violence from someone who is not a close family member or domestic partner. The protected person named in the order receives legal safeguards while awaiting the full court hearing, typically scheduled within 20 to 25 days. The person seeking protection must provide personal details and information about the restrained person, including physical description, home address, and relationship to the protected party. Additional family members or household members may also be included under the same civil harassment restraining order. The CH-110 Temporary Restraining Order sets out specific requirements for the restrained person, including maintaining a set distance from the protected person's home, workplace, and school, ceasing all contact, and surrendering any firearms. At the court hearing, the judge evaluates whether to issue a longer-term civil harassment restraining order, which can remain in effect for up to five years. The form also provides instructions to law enforcement on enforcing the restraining order and outlines the consequences of non-compliance, ensuring the legal system's commitment to protecting individuals from civil harassment while maintaining due process for all parties.
