What is the difference between a PPO and a restraining order?
The main difference between a protective order vs. a restraining order is the law by which they are applied and the jurisdiction in which the order is issued. Protective orders usually apply in criminal cases with criminal charges associated with the guilty, while restraining orders are mostly used in civil cases.
What is a protective order in California?
A Criminal Protective Order is an order a judge makes to protect a witness or victim of a crime. It tells the restrained person to stay away from and not to hurt, threaten, or communicate with the other person.
How long do protective orders last in California?
After having a court hearing, a judge can grant you a restraining order after hearing that can last up to five years. However, if there is no termination date on the order, the order will last three years from the date it was issued.
Is a protective order different than a no contact order?
Protection orders are generally in place when there is no pending criminal case. However, in many cases, a person will seek a protection order prior to a situation where law enforcement gets involved. Then, later, when a criminal act occurs a no contact order is then requested by the prosecutor.

There are two general types of CPOs. A CPO may require a defendant to stay away from, and have no contact with, a Protected Person. These are called No Contact orders. Alternatively, a CPO may permit contact between a defendant and the Protected Person, but only if that contact is peaceful in every way.
