Legal Standing to Seek California Elder Abuse Restraining Orders

Written by Adam Peck Category: Elder Law January 26th, 2013 1 min read

Standing to seek Restraining Orders in California is granted to any “interested person” under California Welfare & Institutions Code Section 15600 (j) which reads “It is the further intent of the Legislature in adding Article 8.5 (commencing with Section 15657) to this chapter to enable interested persons to engage attorneys to take up the cause of abused elderly persons and dependent adults.”

ARTICLE 8.5 includes Section 15657.03 which provides for Restraining Orders and distinguishes the “elder” from the “Applicant” seeking the restraining orders.

Attorney Fees and Costs are Available when you represent an Applicant seeking Restraining Orders.
