We prepare your court-ready paperwork based on the information you provide.
We are not attorneys. We do not give legal advice and we do not appear in court.

Domestic Violence Restraining Orders (DVRO)

A Domestic Violence Restraining Order can request court orders to help protect you and, in many situations, your children. We help you prepare a clear, organized, filing-ready DVRO packet using Judicial Council forms and supporting documents you provide.

Common requests included in DVRO paperwork may involve:

• Personal conduct orders (no harassment, no contact, no threats)
• Stay-away orders (home, work, school, vehicle)
• Move-out orders (in certain situations)
• Child custody & visitation requests (when applicable)
• Property and debt issues listed on court forms (as appropriate)
• Firearm-related court orders (when included in the forms)
• Support-related requests (when included in the forms and applicable to your case)

What we do for your DVRO packet (document preparation services):

• Prepare the DVRO request forms based on your answers and your written statements
• Format your declaration(s) clearly, with dates, headings, and numbered paragraphs
• Organize exhibits (photos, screenshots, messages, police reports, medical paperwork) into a neat packet
• Prepare service-related paperwork (proofs of service are critical in restraining order matters)
• Prepare “after hearing” paperwork when you need orders issued, modified, renewed, or ended

Example DVRO forms often used in California include forms such as DV-100, DV-109, DV-110, DV-130, and related proof-of-service forms (your exact forms depend on your situation and the court’s requirements).

Important: We type and assemble documents at your direction. We cannot tell you what you should request, what to say, or how the judge will rule.

Family Law Document Preparation

If you are handling a family law matter, the court paperwork must be accurate, complete, and properly formatted. We prepare filing-ready documents for self-represented (pro per) clients and for people who need help organizing the court forms.

• Marital Settlement Agreements and stipulated attachments (typed and formatted from your terms)

Child Custody & Visitation (Parenting Plans)

• Requests to establish custody and visitation
• Parenting plan schedules (weekdays, weekends, holidays, exchanges)
• Requests to modify existing custody/visitation orders
• Move-away and relocation paperwork (document preparation only)
• Responsive paperwork for hearings

Child Support & Spousal Support

• Requests to establish, modify, or enforce support orders (document preparation only)
• Arrears paperwork and supporting schedules (as applicable)
• Stipulations (typed from your agreement terms)

Financial Disclosures & Discovery Support

• Schedules of assets and debts
• Document organization for disclosures and required court packets
• Discovery responses (typed from your answers) and basic discovery formatting

Requests for Orders, Declarations, and Hearing Packets

• Request for Order / hearing paperwork (typed and assembled)
• Declarations and exhibits (organized, labeled, and referenced clearly)
• Proofs of service (prepared for personal service or mail service, as applicable)
• Post-hearing paperwork (orders after hearing, modifications, renewals, terminations)

Other Restraining Orders

In addition to DVRO paperwork, we also prepare other restraining order packets (when appropriate to your situation), including:

• Civil harassment restraining orders
• Elder or dependent adult abuse restraining orders
