DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RESTRAINING ORDER CLINIC

We assist survivors of domestic violence and elder abuse in obtaining Restraining Orders to protect them from their abusers. We assist all people regardless of income in these cases. Quite often, we also assist domestic violence survivors in obtaining appropriate child custody and visitation orders. In non-Domestic Violence cases, where there are credible allegations of harm to a child, we also assist low-income persons with custody and visitation problems.

The Legal Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara County operates a Domestic Violence Restraining Order Clinic one evening per week. Although you will
represent yourself (“In Pro Per”) in this legal matter, you will obtain assistance completing the necessary forms and recieve information on court procedures. Appointments are necessary. Please contact your local office for more information or to make an appointment.
