Domestic Violence Cases Require Careful Attention.

A Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) in California isn't just a piece of paper. It triggers a rebuttable presumption against custody under Family Code §3044, can mean loss of firearm rights, immigration consequences, and impacts every other family law issue.

If you genuinely need protection — we'll get a temporary order the same day, prepare you for the full hearing, gather text messages, photos, witness statements, and medical records, and fight to make the order permanent.

If you're being falsely accused — we'll defend you with the same intensity. False DVROs are often filed for tactical advantage in custody cases, and judges are increasingly skeptical when the evidence doesn't hold up.

Unfortunately, with family law issues it's rare that both parties will leave happy. At the same time its not rare father's are taken advantage of by the courts when it comes to custody, child support, and alimony. Long story short we went from paying $3,000/month to the other party, down to $400/month with the help of Isaac. What's fair is fair, especially to men who are trying their absolute hardest to do everything they need to for their children. If you want good representation be 100% honest about your side of the story and the opposing parties side. Isaac will do everything in his power to help you out. His main concern is doing whats best for the children.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most from clients considering Central Law Firm.

What is a DVRO?

Domestic Violence Restraining Order under California's Domestic Violence Prevention Act. Can include stay-away, no-contact, exclusive home use, child custody, and firearm surrender provisions.

How fast can I get protection?

In urgent situations, the court may issue temporary restraining orders quickly, sometimes the same day the request is reviewed. The timing depends on the facts, the court's schedule, and whether the legal requirements for emergency relief are met.

What if the allegations against me are false?

If you believe the allegations against you are false, it is important to respond carefully and present the court with the relevant evidence. This may include text messages, emails, photographs, witness testimony, records, and other information that provides context or contradicts the allegations. Central Law Firm can help you prepare your response and present your side of the case clearly.

Does a DVRO automatically mean I lose custody of my child or children?

Not necessarily. A DVRO can significantly affect custody and visitation, but it does not automatically mean you will lose custody. In California, certain findings of domestic violence can trigger a rebuttable presumption under Family Code § 3044 against awarding sole or joint physical or legal custody to the person found to have committed domestic violence. The court will consider the specific facts, the child's safety and best interests, and whether that presumption has been overcome.

Will a DVRO affect my firearm rights?

A DVRO can affect your right to possess or purchase firearms and ammunition. If an order is issued, you may be required to surrender, sell, or properly store any firearms and provide proof of compliance to the court. Central Law Firm can explain how the order affects you and what steps may be required.
