CA ENG revised DVRO qu, added 2 statutes

April 2019

In our California Domestic Violence Restraining Orders section, we added information to Step 4 - Service of process about what to do when the respondent is evading service. The additions, which are based on a 2019 change to the law, were made in English. Spanish coming soon! We also added two related statutes in English to the Selected California Statutes page.
