Q: Can I file a restraining order against someone even though the incident happened in Mexico?
My husband has been living in his house for 7 years in Tijuana and I have been living with him for 2 years back and forth crossing every day etc etc. Okay so his aunt owns a piece of land here in Tijuana and she is trying to evict us gave us 15 days 13 days go by and two dudes come and say that we need to get out sort of "forcing" us to move out otherwise things where going to go bad. Her lawyer came once before the guys came and said we had 15 days otherwise things where not gonna be good. Other day came and forcedly entered the property breaking our locks and just being real disrespectful. What can I do? Can I file a restraining order? I have videos to show proof. Mexico police gets paid 30 bucks and they're paid off and will do anything to make us leave. Cops are crooks

A:
You may be able to seek a restraining order in California, especially if your husband has ties to the state or if you have recently been in California. It’s important to gather all your evidence, including the videos you mentioned, to support your case. Presenting this information to the court can help demonstrate the need for protection.
Additionally, consider reaching out to local support services or organizations that assist with international legal issues. They can guide you through the process and help you understand the best steps to take given your situation in Mexico. Document every incident carefully to strengthen your case.
Consulting with a legal professional who understands both California and Mexican laws can provide you with tailored advice. They can help you navigate the complexities and explore all available options to ensure your safety and rights are protected.
