Find your California courthouse

A restraining order request is filed in your county's superior court, and each county sets its own local forms, filing windows, and fee details. All 58 courts are listed here. Most also run a free self-help center that can look over your paperwork in person. Select a county name for how that court takes domestic violence restraining order papers, from its own website.
