The most common Restraining Order is a Civil Harassment Restraining Order. This is used if you need protection from someone who is not a close family member. This Restraining Order could be used for protection from neighbors, roommates, or co-workers. Typically you do not have to pay a fee if you are asking for a Restraining Order against someone who was violent, threatened, stalked or scared you. In other cases, a fee may apply unless you are eligible for a fee waiver based upon your income level or receipt of certain public assistance.


Important note: It is usually advantageous for both parties to find a resolution amongst each other this can either be done by coming to an agreement on your own or by working with one of the mediation providers in Fresno County.
