The Civil Arena: Low Standard, High Stakes

In California, civil restraining orders—whether Domestic Violence Restraining Orders (DVROs) or Civil Harassment Restraining Orders (CHROs)—can be filed with minimal evidence and quickly have life-altering consequences. The burden of proof is not “beyond a reasonable doubt,” as in criminal cases, but merely a preponderance of the evidence—just over 50%. This low standard makes it dangerously easy for a person to manipulate the system with exaggerated or entirely false claims.

The Real-World Fallout

A civil restraining order can:

•  Remove you from your home


•  Restrict access to your children


•  Limit your ability to possess firearms


•  Tarnish your name in family court and beyond

These petitions are often filed alongside or just before divorce and child custody proceedings. For many accused, the restraining order becomes a strategic ploy to tip the scales in family court—especially in custody battles where the “protective parent” image is crucial.

You Need a Fighter in Your Corner

False Allegations Are Real—And We’ve Proven It

At The Vega Law Firm P.C., we have successfully defended clients against false and misleading restraining order allegations, even in cases where the odds seemed stacked against them. We know the tactics accusers use. We’ve seen firsthand how a fabricated narrative can be crafted to sway a judge at the initial hearing. But we also know how to fight back.

Using thorough investigation, skilled cross-examination, and third-party declarations, we’ve demonstrated patterns of manipulation and exposed the truth—clearing our clients and restoring their ability to parent, work, and move forward.

DON’T PANIC. DON’T MAKE CONTACT WITH THE ACCCUSER.  AND DON’T GO IT ALONE.

You need an attorney who’s been on both sides of the courtroom—someone who understands what the judge needs to hear, and what evidence will shift the outcome in your favor.
