"Coercive control" means a number of acts that unreasonably limit the free will and individual rights of any 
person protected by this restraining order. Examples include isolating them from friends, relatives, or other 
support; keeping them from food or basic needs; controlling or keeping track of them, including their

intimidation, including threats based on actual or suspected immigration status. Coercive control includes  
reproductive coercion meaning controlling someone's reproductive choices, such as using force, threat, or 
intimidation to pressure someone to be or not be pregnant, and to control or interfere with someone's 
contraception, birth control, pregnancy, or access to health information.

Certificate of Compliance With Violence Against Woman Act for Temporary Orders

This temporary protective order meets all "full faith and credit" requirements of the Violence Against Women Act,  
18 U.S.C. § 2265 (1994), upon notice of the restrained person. This court has jurisdiction over the parties and the 
subject matter; the restrained person has been or will be afforded notice and a timely opportunity to be heard as 
provided by the laws of this jurisdiction. This order is valid and entitled to enforcement in each jurisdiction 
throughout the 50 states of the United States, the District of Columbia, all tribal lands, and all U.S. territories, 
commonwealths, and possessions and shall be enforced as if it were an order of that jurisdiction.

Instructions for Law Enforcement, if item     b is checked

This order is effective when made. It is enforceable by any law enforcement agency that has received the order, is shown  
a copy of the order, or has verified its existence on the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System  
(CLETS). If the law enforcement agency has not received proof of service on the restrained person, and the restrained  
person was not present at the court hearing, the agency shall advise the restrained person of the terms of the order and  
then shall enforce it. Violations of this order are subject to criminal penalties.

Duties of Officer Serving This Order
The officer who serves this order on the Restrained Person must do the following:

Ask if the Restrained Person is in possession of any of the prohibited items listed in      , or has custody or 
control of any that they have not already turned in.

6

Order the Restrained Person to immediately surrender to you all prohibited items.

Issue a receipt to the Restrained Person for all prohibited items that have been surrendered.

Complete a proof of personal service and file it with the court. You may use form DV-200 for this purpose. 

Within one business day of service, submit the proof of service directly into the California Restraining and 
Protective Order System (CARPOS), including the serving officer’s name and law enforcement agency.

Arrest Required if Order Is Violated
If an officer has probable cause to believe that the restrained person had notice of the order and has disobeyed the order,  
the officer must arrest the restrained person. (Penal Code sections 836(c)(1), 13701(b).) A violation of the order may be 
a violation of Penal Code section 166 or 273.6.

If the Protected Person Contacts the Restrained Person
Even if the protected person invites or consents to contact with the restrained person, the orders remain in effect and must  
be enforced. The protected person cannot be arrested for inviting or consenting to contact with the restrained person. The  
orders can be changed only by another court order. (Penal Code section 13710(b).)

Conflicting Orders—Priorities for Enforcement

If more than one restraining order has been issued protecting the protected person from the restrained 
person, the orders must be enforced in the following priority (see Penal Code section 136.2 and Family Code 
sections 6383(h)(2), 6405(b)): 
 

1.  Emergency Protective Order (EPO): If one of the orders is an Emergency Protective Order (form EPO-001), 

provisions (e.g., stay away order) that are more restrictive than in the other restraining/protective orders must be 
enforced. Provisions of another order that do not conflict with the EPO must be enforced.  

.  No-Contact Order: If a restraining/protective order includes a no-contact order, the no-contact order must be  

enforced. Item       is an example of a no-contact order. 

11

.  Criminal Protective Order (CPO): If none of the orders include an EPO or a no-contact order, the most recent 

CPO must be enforced. (Family Code sections 6383(h)(2) and 6405(b)). Additionally, a CPO issued in a criminal 
case involving charges of domestic violence, Penal Code sections 261, 261.5, or former 262, or charges requiring 
sex offender registration must be enforced over any civil court order. (Penal Code section 136.2(e)(2)). All 
provisions in the civil court order that do not conflict with the CPO must be enforced.  

.  Civil Restraining Orders: If there is more than one civil restraining order (e.g., domestic violence, juvenile, elder 
abuse, civil harassment), then the order that was issued last must be enforced. Provisions that do not conflict with 
the most recent civil restraining order must be enforced.
