Old restraining order

[kielbasavw]

About 4 years ago my grandmother supposedly filed 2 restraining orders. One against her son (my uncle) and another to his girlfriend. Durring the process of the restraining order he ended up in prison.

Uncle is currently out. Causing problems. Grandma is now incapable due to alzheimers, and I have power of attorney.

Is there a way to find out if the restraining order was fully processed and maybe possibly still in affect? This is in LA County if it matters.

Thank you

Where is her copy of the order, it should have a end date on it. Most are 3 years, but I have seen 1 that was 5 years. If it was served and fully processed LASO records or the local PD should have a copy on file. You could also check with the court clerk's office, but that may be a daunting task in LA county.

Documents the problems and get another one if needed.

Good luck.

^^^Not a cop, but that has been my personal experience.^^^

If there were instances of violation of the original TRO. Re-petition the Court for a Permanent order.

Clerks can be nightmares, or helpfull angels. If you have to go that route to get a copy of the order. Give the clerk the "I need to protect Grandma" story. Nobody likes scumbags who mess with Grandmas.

Called local sheriff. Told me nothing is currently active. Sent me to records office and they told me any expired ro wouldn't show up or be available

Just go down to the court and fill out another RO for your Grandma.

Suggest you take "tyrist's' advice.

Much easier to do if you have copy of original order. This time petition for a Permanent order. And as Grandmas protector and POA. Have yourself and your address listed, and any other family members who he has made threats against. As well as hers.

Document EVERYTHING!

As I was told by a LE friend of mine. A RO not only gives them power to arrest BGs that break a RO. It also serves to show cause, should you be forced to protect yourself or grandma from the BG.

Here's some info that might be of use to you seeing as your uncle seems like a major pain in the *** to you and your family. Your grandmother sounds to me like she's a dependent adult if she is unable to care for herself. I'm assuming she is also over 65 years old. If your uncle is causing her emotional distress or conning her into giving him money it can be a form of elder abuse which is very serious. Document any incidents where he is causing problems with your grandmother. It may better support getting that ro. If you report an elder abuse to the police it's a mandatory report, but the abuse must be supported by facts.
