Outline

Addressing workplace violence and ensuring the safety of employees are paramount concerns for employers and legal systems alike. The WV-110 Temporary Restraining Order, a key legal document, plays a crucial role in this endeavor, particularly in the state of California. It serves to temporarily protect employees (referred to as Protected Persons) from acts of violence, threats, and harassment by imposing restrictions on the accused (referred to as the Restrained Person) until a court hearing decides on a more permanent solution. Key elements of the form include details about the petitioner, which can be an employer on behalf of the employee, and the respondent, along with a description and relationship to the employee. Included within the restraining order are personal conduct orders that specify prohibitions against the respondent, stay-away orders detailing physical boundaries, and a mandate against the possession of firearms and ammunition by the respondent. The form also outlines the process for entering the order into the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) and addresses service and enforcement issues, providing a comprehensive framework for immediate protective action. Significantly, it emphasizes the seriousness of adhering to the court's temporary orders, with violations leading to potential imprisonment, fines, or both, and details the steps for both law enforcement and the respondent in terms of enforcement and response. Thus, the WV-110 form is an essential tool in the legal battle against workplace violence, offering temporary but immediate protection for those at risk.

Notice Regarding Nonappearance at Hearing and Service of Order

If you have been personally served with this Temporary Restraining Order and form WV-109, Notice of Court Hearing, but you do not appear at the hearing either in person or by a lawyer, and a restraining order that is the same as this Temporary Restraining Order except for the expiration date is issued at the hearing, a copy of the order will be served on you by mail at the address in item 3 .

If this address is not correct or you wish to verify that the Temporary Restraining Order was converted into a restraining order at the hearing without substantive change, or to find out the duration of the order, contact the clerk of the court.

After You Have Been Served With a Restraining Order

•Obey all the orders. Any intentional violation of this Order is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine or by imprisonment in a county jail, or by both fine and imprisonment. (Pen. Code, § 273.6.)

•Read form WV-120-INFO, How Can I Respond to a Petition for Orders to Stop Workplace Violence?, to learn how to respond to this Order.

•If you want to respond, fill out form WV-120, Response to Petition for Workplace Violence Restraining Orders, and file it with the court clerk. You do not have to pay any fee to file your response if the petition claims that you threatened violence against or stalked the employee, or placed the employee in reasonable fear of violence.

•You must have form WV-120 served on the petitioner or the petitioner’s attorney by mail. You cannot do this yourself. The person who does the service should complete and sign form WV-250, Proof of Service of Response by Mail.

Instructions for Law Enforcement

Enforcing the Restraining Order

This order is enforceable by any law enforcement agency that has received the order, is shown a copy of the order, or has verified its existence on the California Restraining and Protective Orders System (CARPOS). Agencies are encouraged to enter violation messages into CARPOS. If the law enforcement agency has not received proof of service on the restrained person, the agency must advise the restrained person of the terms of the order and then must enforce it. Violations of this order are subject to criminal penalties.

Start Date and End Date of Orders

This order starts on the date next to the judge’s signature on page 4. The order ends on the expiration date in item 5 on page 1.

If the Protected Person Contacts the Restrained Person

Even if the protected person invites or consents to contact with the restrained person, this order remains in effect and must be enforced. The protected person cannot be arrested for inviting or consenting to contact with the restrained person. The order can be changed only by another court order. (Pen. Code, § 13710(b).)

Conflicting Orders—Priorities for Enforcement

If more than one restraining order has been issued, the orders must be enforced according to the following priorities: (See Pen. Code, § 136.2, Fam. Code, §§ 6383(h)(2), 6405(b).)

1.EPO: If one of the orders is an Emergency Protective Order (form EPO-001) and is more restrictive than other restraining or protective orders, it has precedence in enforcement over all other orders.

2.No Contact Order: If there is no EPO, a no-contact order that is included in a restraining or protective order has precedence over any other restraining or protective order.

3.Criminal Order: If none of the orders includes a no contact order, a domestic violence protective order issued in a criminal case takes precedence in enforcement over any conflicting civil court order. Any nonconflicting terms of the civil restraining order remain in effect and enforceable.

4.Family, Juvenile, or Civil Order: If more than one family, juvenile, or other civil restraining or protective order has been issued, the one that was issued last must be enforced.

More About Fake Restraining Order

  1. What is a fake restraining order?

    A fake restraining order refers to a document that purports to be a legal order issued by a court which restricts or limits an individual's actions towards the person protected by the order, but in reality, it has not been issued by any court or legal authority. Such documents might superficially resemble real legal documents but have no legal validity or enforceability.

  2. How can I tell if a restraining order is fake?

    Determining if a restraining order is fake involves checking several key aspects:
    • Verify its issuance through the court listed on the document. Most courts offer online tools or direct phone numbers to help verify orders.
    • Check for proper case numbers and other legal information that matches court records.
    • Look for spelling errors, grammatical mistakes, or unprofessional formatting, which are common in fake documents.
    • Evaluate the seal and signature. Verified orders have a seal and signature from a judge or court official that can be cross-checked with the issuing court.

  3. What should I do if I receive a fake restraining order?

    If you suspect that a restraining order you've received is fake:
    • Contact the court listed on the document immediately to verify its authenticity.
    • Do not engage with the person who might have sent the fake order, especially if they are threatening or attempting to manipulate you.
    • Consider reporting the issue to law enforcement, as creating or distributing a fake legal document could be considered fraud or another criminal offense.
    • You may also want to consult with a legal professional to understand your rights and next steps.

  4. Can a fake restraining order have legal consequences?

    While a fake restraining order itself has no legal power, actions taken based on or related to such a document can have serious consequences. For example, using a fake order to threaten or harass someone could lead to criminal charges. Additionally, forging legal documents is a crime and can result in legal penalties for those who create or distribute them.

  5. Why would someone create a fake restraining order?

    Individuals might create fake restraining orders for various reasons, including trying to intimidate or control another person, as a form of harassment, or to gain an advantage in a personal dispute. Such actions are not only unethical but also illegal.

  6. How are authentic restraining orders issued?

    Authentic restraining orders are issued by courts after a legal process that includes filing a petition, potential court hearings, and a judge's review and approval. The procedure typically requires evidence or reasonable cause to believe that the petitioner is in need of protection due to threats, harassment, or abuse from the individual whom the order restrains.

  7. What is the penalty for creating a fake restraining order?

    Penalties for creating a fake restraining order vary by jurisdiction but can include charges related to forgery, fraud, or impersonating a public official. These can result in fines, community service, probation, or even prison sentences, depending on the severity of the offense and other related actions.

  8. Can I get legal help if I've been targeted with a fake restraining order?

    Yes, individuals targeted by fake restraining orders can seek legal assistance. Lawyers specializing in family law or criminal defense can provide advice, help verify the authenticity of the document, and take action against those responsible for its creation and distribution. Legal aid organizations may offer assistance to those who cannot afford private attorneys.

  9. Where can I find more information about protecting myself from fake legal documents?

    For more information on protecting yourself from fake legal documents, including restraining orders, consider the following resources:
    • Your local court's website or office, which can provide guidance on verifying orders and understanding legal processes.
    • State or national bar associations, which offer resources and referrals to qualified attorneys.
    • Non-profit organizations focused on legal aid or victim assistance, which often have educational materials and support services.

Common mistakes

When filling out the WV-110 Temporary Restraining Order form, it's crucial to avoid common mistakes to ensure the order is processed smoothly and accurately. Mistakes can delay protection for those in need or cause the form to be incomplete or incorrect. Here are six common mistakes people make:

  1. Not providing complete information for Petitioner (Employer) and Employee (Protected Person). Every detail, from names to contact numbers, must be filled in accurately.

  2. Omitting the Respondent (Restrained Person) details. Full name, physical description, and address (if known) are crucial for effective enforcement.

  3. Leaving the section on Additional Protected Persons blank if other employees or family members also need protection. Specific names, relationships, and ages are necessary.

  4. Incorrectly marking the Expiration Date and hearing details can render the temporary order unenforceable or lead to gaps in protection.

  5. Failing to record the personal conduct orders and stay-away orders properly. Detailing what the respondent is not allowed to do is essential for enforceability.

  6. Not completing the No Guns or Other Firearms section accurately, including the requirement to sell, store, or turn in firearms and provide proof to the court.

Attention to detail and thoroughly reviewing the form for completeness can make all the difference in providing timely and effective protection through a restraining order.

Documents used along the form

When dealing with legal matters, particularly those that involve the need for protection through a restraining order, it's vital to understand the various documents that may complement or be required alongside the main request. A fake restraining order form, such as the example provided, serves as a crucial tool in legal proceedings aimed at preventing violence or harassment in the workplace. However, to effectively navigate the legal system and ensure comprehensive protection, several other forms and documents are often utilized in conjunction with a restraining order request. Below is an overview of these documents, each playing a unique role in the process.

  • Notice of Court Hearing (WV-109): Informs the respondent about the date and time of the court hearing regarding the restraining order, ensuring they have the opportunity to appear and respond.
  • Proof of Service (WV-250): This document verifies that the respondent has been properly notified of the restraining order request and the hearing date, a critical step in the legal process.
  • Response to Petition for Orders to Stop Workplace Violence (WV-120): Allows the respondent to formally respond to the restraining order petition, presenting their side of the story to the court.
  • Declaration (MC-030): Provides a structured way for both the petitioner and respondent to submit written statements or evidence to support their case, under penalty of perjury.
  • Proof of Firearms Turned In, Sold, or Stored (WV-800): Required if the restraining order includes a provision for the surrender of firearms, verifying compliance with the order.
  • Child Custody and Visitation Order Application (FL-311): Relevant when the restraining order involves parties with children, to address custody and visitation during the restraining order period.
  • Income and Expense Declaration (FL-150): Necessary in cases where financial support or attorney’s fees are at issue, detailing each party's financial standing.
  • Request for Order (FL-300): Might be used alongside a restraining order request to seek court orders on related issues, such as child support, spousal support, or property control.
  • Civil Case Cover Sheet (CM-010): Typically filed with the initial paperwork for a restraining order in civil cases, summarizing the case for administrative purposes.
  • Law Enforcement Information Sheet: While not always a standard form, providing a detailed description of the respondent to law enforcement can be crucial, especially if immediate protection is necessary.

Each of these documents plays a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and legal rights of all parties involved in a restraining order case. From notifying the respondent of the legal actions against them to detailing evidence and related legal requests, every form contributes to the thoroughness and fairness of the legal process. Knowing how and when to use these documents can significantly impact the outcome of restraining order proceedings. It's always recommended to seek legal advice or assistance from legal aid organizations to navigate these complex procedures effectively.

Similar forms

The Fake Restraining Order document shares similarities with various other legal documents, each serving a distinct purpose but utilizing comparable structures or content elements. Here's a look at 8 of these documents and how they relate:

  • Protection Order Forms: Like restraining orders, protection order forms are used in domestic violence and stalking cases. They similarly contain specific prohibitions and instructions to the respondent, aimed at protecting the petitioner from threats or harm.
  • Summons: A summons is a legal document issued by the court requiring someone to appear in court on a specified date and time. It shares the process of formally notifying individuals involved in a legal matter, akin to how a restraining order notifies the restrained person of the orders and hearing details.
  • Eviction Notices: Although used in a different context (landlord-tenant disputes), eviction notices resemble restraining orders in that they formally instruct someone to do or not do something — in this case, to vacate premises within a prescribed period.
  • Emergency Protective Orders (EPOs): EPOs are similar to temporary restraining orders but are specifically issued in emergency situations, often by police officers, and typically last only a few days. Both documents aim to provide immediate protection to individuals at risk.
  • Child Custody Orders: These orders, issued as part of family court proceedings, outline the terms of custody, visitation, and child support. Similar to restraining orders, they legally define what an individual can or cannot do, focusing on the welfare of the child.
  • Subpoenas: A subpoena compels a person to appear in court, produce documents, or both. It's similar to a restraining order in terms of being a court-issued document that mandates specific actions, under the threat of legal consequences for non-compliance.
  • No Contact Orders: These are often part of criminal proceedings, prohibiting the defendant from contacting the victim of the crime. No contact orders parallel restraining orders in their purpose to prevent harassment, threats, or violence.
  • Workplace Violence Prevention Orders: Specifically designed to address violence or threats in the workplace, these orders are similar to the restraining order in question regarding their purpose to protect employees and set legal boundaries for the respondent's behavior.

While each of these documents serves a unique legal function, they all share the commonality of being formal legal instruments, designed to regulate behavior and ensure the safety, security, or rights of individuals or entities. They are tools within the judicial system to address various forms of disputes, hazards, or misconduct.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the WV-110 Temporary Restraining Order form, attention to detail and accuracy is paramount to ensure the protection it offers is effective and enforceable. The below lists offer guidance on what practices to follow and what pitfalls to avoid during this process.

Do:

  1. Verify all personal information for accuracy, including names, addresses, and the description of the Respondent (Restrained Person), to ensure there are no errors that could invalidate the order or hinder its enforcement.
  2. Include detailed descriptions of the behavior leading to the request for a restraining order, specifying dates and instances of the conduct that has necessitated such legal action.
  3. Ensure that all instructions regarding the no-contact provisions, stay-away orders, and firearm restrictions are clearly understood and accurately filled in, including specific distances and conditions.
  4. Check that all additional protected persons are listed with their full names, relation to the Employee (Protected Person), and any other relevant details to extend protection to them as well.

Don't:

  1. Leave any sections blank that are applicable to your situation. If a question does not apply, indicate this with an "N/A" to demonstrate that it was reviewed and determined to be irrelevant.
  2. Misrepresent any information or provide false details, as this could not only undermine the credibility of the petition but also may have legal repercussions.
  3. Forget to sign and date the form where required, as an unsigned form may not be processed, delaying protection and legal recourse.
  4. Disregard the importance of submitting the form within any time frames outlined by your jurisdiction's court system to ensure timely protection.

Misconceptions

When discussing legal forms, particularly a restraining order, many misconceptions can arise, leading to confusion and potential misuse of these legal tools. Here are 10 common misconceptions about the fake restraining order form, corrected to clarify their purpose and process.

  1. It’s easy to get a restraining order for any reason: Obtaining a restraining order requires convincing a court there’s a credible threat of violence or harassment— not just any minor dispute or disagreement.

  2. Restraining orders are permanent: Many restraining orders, like the temporary restraining order (TRO) described, are temporary and set to expire on a specific date unless extended by the court.

  3. Restraining orders resolve the issue: While restraining orders aim to provide immediate protection, they do not solve underlying conflicts and may require additional legal actions.

  4. Only physical violence justifies a restraining order: Courts can issue restraining orders for threats, harassment, stalking, and more, not just physical violence.

  5. Restraining orders are effective immediately upon filing: A restraining order only takes effect after it’s served to the respondent and entered into law enforcement systems.

  6. Any police department can enforce a restraining order: Enforcement requires that the restraining order be entered into the California Restraining and Protective Order System (CARPOS) through the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS).

  7. Filing a restraining order costs money: Fees may be waived if the order is based on a credible threat of violence or if the petitioner qualifies for a fee waiver.

  8. The petitioner needs a lawyer to file a restraining order: While legal advice can be helpful, individuals have the right to petition for a restraining order without a lawyer.

  9. Responding to a restraining order requires attendance at the hearing: The respondent can choose to file a response and not attend, although it is not advisable since the judge can still issue a permanent order in their absence.

  10. Getting a restraining order protects the petitioner from all forms of contact: Unless explicitly stated, restraining orders may allow certain types of contact, like peaceful written communication through a lawyer for court matters.

Understanding these aspects of restraining orders is crucial for anyone considering filing one or responding to an order against them. It ensures parties involved are aware of their legal rights, the procedures involved, and the limitations of what these orders can provide in terms of protection and resolution.

Key takeaways

Filling out and using a restraining order form, specifically the WV-110 Temporary Restraining Order for workplace violence prevention, is a serious legal step that requires understanding and attention to detail. Here are key takeaways to keep in mind during the process:

  • Filling out the form requires precise details about the petitioner, the protected employee, and the respondent (the restrained person), including personal and contact information.
  • The form is part of a legal process designed to offer temporary protection from harm or harassment at the workplace, emphasizing the importance of accurately conveying the necessity for protection.
  • The respondent is prohibited from certain actions that are clearly delineated in the order, such as harassment, threats, or any form of contact with the protected person(s).
  • Specific distances are set within the order, keeping the respondent a set yardage away from the protected person’s workplace, home, school, and other specified locations.
  • An essential aspect of the temporary restraining order (TRO) is the prohibition against the respondent owning or possessing firearms and ammunition while the order is in effect.
  • The court requires evidence that any firearms or ammunition the respondent possesses are turned in, sold, or stored in accordance with the order, following strict deadlines.
  • The order must be entered into the California Restraining and Protective Order System (CARPOS) through the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS), ensuring its enforceability by law enforcement.
  • Service of the restraining order to the restrained person is typically managed by the sheriff or marshal without charge in cases involving credible threats of violence or stalking, symbolizing the importance and urgency of these orders.
  • Violating the restraining order is a criminal offense that may result in fines or imprisonment, highlighting the necessity for the respondent to fully comprehend and adhere to the orders.
  • Respondents are given information on how to respond to the order, emphasizing the legal avenues available to contest the order while maintaining legal obligations until a court decision is made.
  • Enforcement priority is given to the most restrictive orders in cases where multiple restraining or protective orders are in effect, reinforcing the justice system’s commitment to safety.
  • The temporary nature of the order, with clear expiration dates unless extended by a judge, makes attending the subsequent hearing crucial for both parties involved in the dispute.

Understanding these key aspects of a restraining order can empower individuals to navigate legal protections effectively and responsibly, ensuring safety and compliance with judicial procedures.
