Your restraining order most likely has an expiration (end) date listed on the first page of the order. That means, on that date, your order will end and you will no longer be protected by it. If you are still concerned for your safety or want your restraining order to stay in place, you have to "renew" it ­ which makes it last longer and gives it a new end date. When do I ask for the renewal? You must ask the court to renew your restraining order BEFORE your current one ends. The court accepts requests for renewal within three months before the end date of a current order. How long can the renewed order last? Most restraining orders may be renewed for no more than a period of three years; however, in some cases, such as those involving domestic violence and elder/dependant adult abuse, renewed orders may be made permanent (with no end date). How much does it cost? There is no fee to ask the court to renew your order. To ask for a renewal of your order, you will need to do the following: 1. Complete the following forms: x Request to Renew Restraining Order (SDSC Form #CIV-371) x Notice of Hearing to Renew Restraining Order (SDSC Form #CIV-372) (Items #1 ­ 2 only) Attach a copy of your current order to the Request to Renew Restraining Order. 2. Take your completed forms to the court location where you received your current order. The clerk will file your papers and submit your request to the judge for his or her signature. Sometimes the judge may want to talk with you. If so, the clerk will tell you. In addition, the clerk will tell you whether or not you need to stay and wait for your paperwork, or when you can come back to pick it up. 3. Once the judge has signed your papers, you will need to have the restrained person personally served with the following: x Request to Renew Restraining Order (SDSC Form #CIV-371) x Notice of Hearing to Renew Restraining Order (SDSC Form #CIV-372) x A copy of your current restraining order x A blank Declaration (JC Form #MC-030) Someone over 18 ­ not you or anyone else protected by the restraining order ­ can serve the restrained person. For information on "service," visit www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp-abuse. 4. File a proof of service. This form tells the judge and law enforcement that the restrained person got a copy of the request and notice of hearing. Have the person who serves the restrained person complete a Proof of Personal Service ­ Renewal of Restraining Order (SDSC Form #CIV-373) and give it to you so you can file it with the court. Take the original proof of service and copies to the court at least two days before your hearing. 5. Go to your court hearing. If you do not attend the hearing, your order will end. At the hearing the judge will decide whether or not to renew the restraining order. You do not need to show that the restrained person has abused or harassed you since the last order; however, if you are still afraid of the restrained person let the judge know. And, if the restrained person has abused or harassed you since the last order, or disobeyed any part of the order you are trying to renew, make sure you tell the judge and provide any proof or details about the violations. It will be up to the judge to decide whether to renew your restraining order. If the judge decides to renew your order, he or she will also decide how long the renewed order will last. If the judge renews your restraining order, a new Restraining Order After Hearing (JC Form #CH-140, EA-130, WV-130, or SV-130) will need to be filled out and signed by the judge. The new Restraining Order After Hearing must be served on the restrained person. x If the restrained person was at the hearing, you can have them served with a copy of new order by mail. Ask the person who serves the restrained person to complete a Proof of Service by Mail ­ Renewal of Restraining Order (SDSC Form #CIV-374) and give it to you so you can file it with the court. If the restrained person was NOT at the hearing, you must have someone serve them with a copy of the new order in person, not by mail. Ask the person who serves the restrained person to complete a Proof of Personal Service ­ Renewal of Restraining Order (SDSC Form #CIV-373) and give it to you so you can file it with the court. x SDSC CIV-375 (New 5/11) RESTRAINING ORDER RENEWAL INFORMATION American LegalNet, Inc. www.FormsWorkFlow.com ATTORNEY OR PARTY WITHOUT ATTORNEY (Name, State Bar number, and address): FOR COURT USE ONLY TELEPHONE NO.: E-MAIL ADDRESS (Optional): ATTORNEY FOR (Name): FAX NO.(Optional): SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO CENTRAL DIVISION, COUNTY COURTHOUSE, 220 W.
