Chula Vista, CA asked in Domestic Violence for California

Q: How can you remove or lift a restraining order?

There is a RO in effect, the protected person continues to harrass me and uses the RO against me. She is not using for protection but instead using it to try and get me to violate the RO. She continues to show up at places knowing that I'm going to be there for example, my son's soccer games, soccer practices and exchanges.

A: You can file a restraining order against the person who has a restraining order against you. Is custody also an issue? The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney.
