It details the legal requirements for compliance, including timelines for surrendering weapons and filing receipts with the court.

Violations of this order can result in criminal penalties.

How serious is an epo?

The victim who is asking for an EPO is referred to as a protected person and their family members are known as protected people in the order. Unlike other temporary restraining orders (TRO) or permanent restraining orders, an EPO can be requested by any law enforcement officer responding to the call.

What does epo stand for in law?

(California Family Code Section 6250.3.) The Emergency Protective Order goes into effect immediately and is good for seven (7) calendar days or five (5) business days, whichever is shorter.

What does epo stand for in court?

The permanent order keeps the alleged victim restrained away from the alleged victim for a period not exceeding sixty months. You have to note that violating EPO may impact you. For example, the court may issue an arrest warrant against you.

How is an EPO different than a restraining order?

The Emergency Protective Order goes into effect immediately and is good for seven (7) calendar days or five (5) business days, whichever is shorter. The Emergency Protective Order is intended to provide protection long enough for the requestor to file an application for a Domestic Violence Restraining Order in court.
