Los Angeles Domestic Violence Resources
The Survivor Justice Center, in partnership with the Los Angeles Superior Court, is establishing a Remote Domestic Violence Resource Bridge Line to connect survivors of intimate partner violence with restraining order resources and other related support. Litigants who have experienced abuse by a current or former partner or spouse can get assistance with preparing restraining orders or other related services. Our team will provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive assistance to guide callers to community service providers that will provide remote or in person support.
Litigants can call or text us during court hours at (323) 714-3235
*If you are in danger, please call 911. If you are in need of immediate legal protection, you can contact the LACBA Restraining Order clinic at court Los Angeles County Bar Association or use the LASC self-help online guide for urgent filing.
