I am wishing to file a restraining order against someone who abused me. I would like to know what "rules n regulations" are for both parties. Also how to go about getting one. This guy likes to hang out outside my apartment complex to terrify me and has threatened my life more than once. My complex is huge and I'm not sure if that would keep him away. I just want hin out of my life and leave me alone!

Your local county courthouse should have a family law facilitator's office that will assist in your obtaining the restraining order. You will have to go to 2 hearings at the beginning - one for a temporary order and then one for a more permanent order - up to 5 years. You will have to serve this guy in the interim, but you can request the sheriff to do that for you for free.
Look at the website for the Butte County Superior Court for more information.

If you had a dating relationship with this guy, you will need to file a restring order with the Family Law Division(DV). Otherwise you will need to file the restring order with the Civil Division. The fee to file a restraining order in CA is $320 unless you qualify for a fee waiver. If the Judge agrees that there is stocking involved you will be reimbursed the $320. The Judge will do one of three things: denied, denied pending hearing, or grant a temporary order. Either way, you will be given a hearing date and the party will have to be served 5 court days before the hearing. You can have a friend, family member, or the Sheriff serve the other party. You will need to be very detailed in your petition because the more info you have the better chance of the Judge granting the temporary order. GOOD LUCK

There are two steps. The first is an application for a temporary restraining order, pending a full hearing, then the application for a permanent (or long-term) restraining order at that hearing.
There is a form you can fill out to file the petition, available at your local county courthouse, and most county courthouses also provide legal assistance for domestic abuse and similar protection orders.
