# How to File a Domestic Violence Restraining Order in Yuba County, California > Step-by-step guide to filing a domestic violence restraining order in Yuba County: where to file, the forms, fees, and local help. **Direct answer.** You don't have to face abuse alone, and you don't have to navigate the court system alone either. If someone close to you is hurting or threatening you, a domestic violence restraining order can set court-enforced boundaries. This guide covers how to file in Yuba County, step by step. ## Where to file in Yuba County File at the Yuba County Superior Court, 215 Fifth Street, Suite 200, Marysville, CA 95901. In-person and electronic filing are both available — confirm current procedures on the court's official site: https://www.yuba.courts.ca.gov/ ## The forms you'll need If you need to appear at your hearing remotely, file RA-010 and give the court at least one court day's notice. - DV-100 — the request for the restraining order itself; describes what happened and what protection you need. - DV-109 — notice of the court hearing date. - DV-110 — the temporary restraining order a judge can grant before the hearing. - CLETS-001 — confidential information for law enforcement (kept private from the other party). - G04050E, CLETS/CJIS Information Sheet [DVRO] — Yuba County's own information sheet, which the court has adopted for mandatory use with domestic violence restraining order requests; return it with your DV-100. Ask the clerk whether the statewide CLETS-001 is also expected with your filing. - DV-120 — the form the other party uses to respond (mention briefly so readers recognize it). - FW-001 — request to waive court fees; only relevant if some separate fee-bearing filing or service comes up in your case. ## What it costs There is no filing fee for an initial domestic violence restraining order request. FW-001 (Request to Waive Court Fees) is only relevant if some separate fee-bearing filing or service comes up in your case. ## What happens after you file A judge reviews your request, usually within 24 hours. If a temporary order is granted, a hearing is typically scheduled within 21 days. The other party must be legally served with the papers. Bring your forms and any evidence to the hearing. ## Local help in Yuba County The court's Self-Help Center (third floor, Suite 318, 215 Fifth Street, Marysville — (530) 740-1850, Monday–Friday 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.) and Family Law Division provide the forms and guidance for domestic violence restraining order filings.
