The Orange County Clerk of Courts is an advocate for putting an end to the violence. Their Family Services Injunction team helps those affected by domestic, repeat, sexual, dating, and stalking violence obtain restraining orders for protection.
Domestic violence not only affects victims, but also family and friends.
