Judicial Council of California, courts.ca.gov Rev. January 1, 2026, Optional Form Code Civ. Proc., §§ 527.6, 527.9 How Can I Respond to a Request for Civil Harassment Restraining Orders? (Civil Harassment Prevention) CH-120-INFO How Can I Respond to a Request for Civil Harassment Restraining Orders? What is a civil harassment restraining order? It is a court order that prohibits you from doing certain things and going to certain places. What does the order do?

The court can order you to: Not contact the person who asked for the order Stay away from that person and the person’s home and workplace Not have any firearms (guns), firearm parts, ammunition, or body armor as long as the order is in effect. This includes firearm receivers and frames, and any item that may be used as or easily turned into a receiver or frame (see Penal Code

section 16531). For more information about the items you would not be allowed to have, please see Who can ask for a civil harassment restraining order? A person who is worried about safety because they have been or are being: Stalked Harassed Assaulted, including sexually, or Threatened with violence I've been served with a request for civil harassment restraining orders. What do I do now? Read the papers served on you very carefully. The Notice of Court Hearing tells you when to appear in court. There may also be a Temporary Restraining Order forbidding you from doing certain things.

You must obey the order until the hearing. What if I don't agree with what the order says? You still must obey the order until the hearing. If you disagree with the orders the person is asking for, fill out form CH-120, Response to Request for Civil Harassment Restraining Orders, before your hearing date and file it with the court. If you need to include attachments, you can use form MC-025. You can get the forms from legal publishers or from the California Courts website at courts.ca.gov/rules-forms/find-your-court-forms. Forms may also be at your local courthouse or county law library.

What if I don't obey the order? The police can arrest you. You can go to jail and pay a fine. Do I have to serve the other person with a copy of my response? Yes. Have someone age 18 or older—not you—mail a copy of completed form CH-120 to the person who asked for the order (or that person’s lawyer). (This is called “service by mail.”) The person who serves the form by mail must fill out form CH-250, Proof of Service by Mail. Have the person who did the mailing sign the original. Take the completed form back to the court clerk or bring it with you to the hearing. Should I go to the court hearing? Yes.

You should go to court on the date listed on form CH-109, Notice of Court Hearing. If you do not go to the hearing, the judge can make orders against you without hearing from you. CH-120-INFO, Page 1 of 2 selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/ restraining-orders/prohibited-items.

Rev. January 1, 2026 How Can I Respond to a Request for Civil Harassment Restraining Orders? (Civil Harassment Prevention) CH-120-INFO How Can I Respond to a Request for Civil Harassment Restraining Orders? If the court issued a temporary restraining order before the hearing, it will last until your hearing date. At that time, the court will decide to continue or cancel the order. Any order issued at the hearing can last for up to five years. How long does the order last? Do I need a lawyer?

Having a lawyer is always a good idea, but it is not required, and you are not entitled to a free, court-appointed attorney. Ask the court clerk about free and low-cost legal services and self-help centers in your county. Will I see the person who asked for the order at the court hearing? Yes. Assume that the person who is asking for the order will attend the hearing. Do not talk to them unless the judge or that person’s attorney says that you can. Can I bring a witness to the court hearing? Yes. You can bring witnesses or documents that support your case to the hearing.

But if possible, you should also bring the witnesses’ written statements of what they saw or heard. Their statements must be made under penalty of perjury. You can use form MC-030 for this. See selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/CH-restraining-order. Information about the process is also available online. For help in your area, contact: [Local information may be inserted.] What if I don't speak English? When you file your papers, ask the clerk if a court interpreter is available. You can also use form INT-300, Request for Interpreter (Civil), or a local court form or website to request an interpreter.

For more information about court interpreters, go to What if I have a firearm (gun), firearm part, or ammunition? If a restraining order is issued, you cannot own, possess, or have a firearm (gun), firearm parts, ammunition, or body armor while the order is in effect. If you have a firearm (gun), firearm parts, or ammunition, you must sell it to or store it with a licensed gun dealer, or turn it in to a law enforcement agency. What if I need to have a firearm or ammunition for my job? If the judge grants a restraining order against you, you cannot have firearms or ammunition.

The judge may give you permission to have a firearm or ammunition for work. Before permission can be granted, you will be required to show the judge that (1) carrying a firearm or ammunition is required for your work, and (2) your employer is unable to reassign you to another position where carrying a firearm or ammunition is not necessary. There are other things that you will have to prove. For more information, go to selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/respond-to-CH-restraining-order/ obey-firearms-orders/exception, or see Code of Civil Procedure

section 527.9(f). Can I agree with the protected person to cancel the order? No. Once the order is issued, only the judge can change or cancel it. You or the protected person would have to file a request with the court to cancel the order. What if I have a disability? If you have a disability and need an accommodation while you are at court, you can use form MC-410, Disability Accommodation Request, to make your request. You can also ask the ADA Coordinator in your court for help. For more information, see form MC-410-INFO, How to Request a Disability Accommodation for Court. What if I need to have body armor?

If you need to have and use body armor for your work, livelihood, or safety, you may ask for an exception with the chief of police or sheriff in the county where you will have and use the body armor (see Penal Code

section 31360(c)). CH-120-INFO, Page 2 of 2 selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/ request-interpreter.
