Are there different types of restraining orders?

Yes. Under California law, a number of different types of restraining orders may be available to help protect individuals from violence and harassment. In emergency situations, an emergency protective order can immediately provide protection, although they are only temporary and a person will need to obtain another restraining order at a later date. Other types of restraining orders may also be pursued in order to protect the individual.
