Legal Question in Family Law in California
My son filed a request for a Domestic Violence Restraining Order and the respondents attorney sent in response what he calls a "court ordered non-CLETS mutual stay away order". If my son is agreeable to this is there any reason he should not sign it? Does he loose any of his rights to file should she assault him again? Also, it states the DV Restraining Order shall be dismissed with prejudice. What does this mean? He may be agreeable to dismissing the DV restraining order but does not know what "with prejudice" really means.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Your son should not agree to a mutual domestic violence restraining order if he is the victim of the assault. This restraining order can have serious legal consequences. He should immediately meet with an experienced family law attorney to explore his options.
