Estate of Mitchell

In Estate of Mitchell (1999) 76 Cal.App.4th 1378, the appellate court was concerned with a violation of a temporary restraining order. (76 Cal.App.4th at p. 1387.) To the extent the court discussed the initial issuance of the temporary restraining order, it held only that an ex parte temporary restraining order "may remain in effect for not longer than 25 days. (Fam. Code, 242.)" (Mitchell, supra, at p. 1387.) The Court went on to note that "even if the ex parte restraining order has expired, however, the trial court may hold a hearing on the OSC and issue a similar preliminary injunction. (See Fam. Code, 242, subd. (b).)" (Mitchell, supra, at p. 1387.)
