A: First, you should file a motion to set aside the restraining order with the California court, explaining that your previous motions to quash service and request evidence went unanswered. Emphasize that the court’s lack of response has deprived you of due process and that the restraining order is based on unsubstantiated claims.

In your motion, highlight the procedural issues, including the improper service and the court's failure to address violations of laws like ORS 107.159, UCCJEA, and PKPA. Make sure to include any evidence that supports your claim of improper service and the witness’s involvement as a protected person in the order, which could be a conflict of interest.

Additionally, you may want to request a hearing to present your case in person. This can provide you with an opportunity to explain your situation directly to the judge. If possible, seek legal assistance to help ensure your motion is properly drafted and your rights are adequately represented.
