Count when a temporary restraining order stops being enforceable
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Record the date a temporary restraining order was granted or the date the petition was filed if none was granted, and the hearing date the court has set. Do not decide that the order has been extended.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides which ending event applies. California Family Code section 242(a) says a hearing shall be held within 21 days, or if good cause appears 25 days, from the date a temporary restraining order is granted or denied. If no temporary restraining order was requested, the hearing is within 21 days, or 25 days for good cause, from the date the petition is filed. Section 242(b) says that if a hearing is not held in that time, the court may still hear the matter, but the temporary restraining order is no longer enforceable unless it is extended under section 245. Section 245 was not opened, so no extension is described from memory. The Judicial Branch guide says a judge decides the temporary order the same day or the next business day after the forms are filed, and that a long-term order, if granted at the later hearing, can last up to five years. The temporary order is not that long-term order.
