temporary orders are needed for more protection, (2) to prevent immediate harm to a child in this case, or 
(3) if there is an immediate risk that a child in this case will be taken out of California. If you are the 
restrained party, the judge cannot end or change the restraining order before the protected party has been 
properly served with this request and there has been a court hearing on your request.)

Your Next Steps
After you complete this form, complete items 1 and 2 of form DV-310, Notice of Court Hearing and Temporary 
Order to Change or End Restraining Order.
File this form and form DV-310 with the court clerk. You must do this before your restraining order expires.
Once you get your forms back from the court, follow the judge’s orders on how to serve the other side (look at form 
DV-310, item 5). Have an adult (not you or anyone protected by the restraining order) serve the other side with a copy 
of your forms. You can also ask the sheriff to personally serve the papers, and they will do this for free. See form 
SER-001, Request for Sheriff to Serve Court Papers. Learn more about service at www.selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/DV-
restraining-order/change-end/serve-request.
After the other side has been served, have the person who served your papers complete a form and file the completed 
form with the court:
If the papers were personally served, have your server complete form DV-200, Proof of Personal Service. 
If the papers were served by mail, have your server complete form DV-250, Proof of Service by Mail. 
If you are asking to change child support or spousal support, you must also complete form FL-150, Income and 
Expense Declaration. If you are only asking for child support, you may be eligible to fill out a simpler form, FL-155, 
Financial Statement (Simplified). Read form DV-570 to see if you are eligible. Before your court date, turn in your 
completed form to the court and serve a copy on the other party.
This is not a Court Order.
