Existing law authorizes a court to issue an injunction enjoining a party from certain acts and behaviors in a variety of circumstances, including in cases of harassment, workplace violence, potential violence at a postsecondary school campus, domestic violence, child abuse, and elder abuse. Existing law permits a court to terminate or modify these protective orders, which may include stay-away and residence exclusion orders, on written stipulation filed with the court or on the motion of a party. This bill would require, if an action is filed for the purpose of terminating or modifying specified protective orders prior to their expiration by a party other than the protected party, that the party who is protected by the order be given notice, as specified, of the proceeding to hear that action prior to the hearing, as specified. The bill would require a court to deny the motion to modify or terminate the order without prejudice or continue the hearing if the party cannot be notified prior to the hearing, provided that upon a showing of good cause, the bill would authorize a court to specify another method for service of process that is reasonably designed to afford actual notice to the protected party. The bill would permit the protected person to waive his or right to notice under specified circumstances.
