Record the court-fee position on a domestic-violence restraining order
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Record whether the filing is a request for a domestic-violence restraining order or a request to renew one, and whether the court guide for that step states a fee. Do not decide any other costs question.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer records the fee position the Judicial Branch states and does not invent a costs order. The California self-help guide says there is no court fee to file a request for a domestic-violence restraining order, and that the person does not have to have a lawyer. The renewal guide says there is no fee to ask the court to renew the order. Neither page states a rule about costs between the parties, exceptional circumstances, or a bad-faith application. The lawyer does not add one.
