# California DVRO move-out orders: DV-100 item 13, DV-130, and what happens next > What a domestic violence restraining-order move-out order does, how long it can last, belongings, police standby, lease questions, and changing locks, from California Courts forms and California Civil Code sources. **Direct answer.** On form DV-100 item 13 you may ask the court to order the restrained person to move out of a shared home. If the judge grants that order, it appears on DV-110 (temporary) and, after the hearing, on DV-130 (Restraining Order After Hearing). California Courts describes giving the restrained person time to take essential belongings peacefully and, when needed, arranging a police standby. Lease termination and lock-change rules for domestic-violence survivors are in Civil Code §§ 1941.5, 1941.6, and 1946.7; unlawful-detainer timing is addressed in Code of Civil Procedure § 1161.3. ## Where the move-out request appears on the forms Form DV-100 (Request for Domestic Violence Restraining Order) item 13 asks whether you want the court to order the restrained person to move out of a residence you share. Item 13 includes address lines and, when applicable, duration fields the form directs you to complete. Form DV-110 is the proposed temporary order before the hearing; form DV-130 is the Restraining Order After Hearing. Only orders a judicial officer checks and signs on those forms are in effect. California Courts publishes instructions on its DV-100 and DV-130 pages linked below. ## Timing, belongings, and police standby California Courts’ service and hearing materials describe that a restrained person must be served with the filed orders and that the move-out order tells them to leave by a date the court sets. The official self-help materials also describe arranging for essential belongings to be collected peacefully and, when safety requires it, asking law enforcement for a standby while belongings are retrieved. Read the exact dates and paragraphs on the file-stamped DV-110 or DV-130 you receive. Local practice for standby requests can vary by county; the filing court’s self-help center or clerk can explain current local steps. ## Lease termination and eviction protections (Civil Code and CCP) California Civil Code § 1946.7 allows a tenant who is a victim of domestic violence (as defined in that section) to terminate a tenancy with written notice under the conditions the statute lists, including specified forms of documentation or a statement under penalty of perjury in some cases. Civil Code §§ 1941.5 and 1941.6 address rekeying or changing locks when a household member is a victim of domestic violence, stalking, or other covered conduct, including notice requirements to the landlord and, in some situations, to the restrained person when ordered by the court. Code of Civil Procedure § 1161.3 describes unlawful-detainer proceedings and includes protections related to domestic violence in the circumstances the statute sets out. Read the current code sections and any court orders together; they address different questions than the DVRO forms themselves. ## Questions people ask next ### Does checking item 13 on DV-100 automatically remove someone from the home? No. Item 13 is a request. A judicial officer decides whether to grant a move-out order on DV-110 and, after the hearing, on DV-130. ### Can I change the locks after I get a move-out order? Lock-change rights and notice duties for tenants appear in Civil Code §§ 1941.5 and 1941.6. Read the statute and your lease; a DVRO order and a landlord-tenant lock change follow different rules. ### Can I break my lease if I need to leave for safety? Civil Code § 1946.7 describes early lease termination for tenants who meet its domestic-violence-related conditions and notice requirements. It is separate from asking for a move-out order on DV-100. ## Official sources - [California Courts: DV-100 Request for Domestic Violence Restraining Order](https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/jcc-form/DV-100) - [California Courts: DV-130 Restraining Order After Hearing](https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/jcc-form/DV-130) - [California Civil Code § 1946.7 (lease termination, domestic violence)](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CIV§ionNum=1946.7) - [California Civil Code § 1941.5 (locks, domestic violence, stalking, and related conduct)](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CIV§ionNum=1941.5) - [California Civil Code § 1941.6 (rekeying, notice to restrained person when court order)](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CIV§ionNum=1941.6) - [California Code of Civil Procedure § 1161.3](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CCP§ionNum=1161.3) ## Related guides - [DV-100: what the California request form asks for](https://justiceos.ai/guides/dv-100) - [DV-130: the judge granting your order is not the last step, and this form is the order](https://justiceos.ai/guides/dv-130) - [DV-110: the temporary order a judge fills in, not you](https://justiceos.ai/guides/dv-110) - [What happens at a California restraining order hearing: who speaks, what to bring, and what the judge decides](https://justiceos.ai/guides/dvro-hearing) - [Serving California DVRO papers: who can serve and what to file](https://justiceos.ai/guides/dvro-service) Published 2026-10-13.
