Automatic temporary restraining orders.

CA AB1297 updates the Family Code to establish automatic temporary restraining orders in certain family law cases. This means that when a divorce or legal separation is filed, certain protections are automatically put in place to prevent either party from making significant changes to their assets or custody arrangements until the case is resolved.

Supporters of AB1297 argue that the bill provides essential protections for individuals going through divorce or separation, ensuring that neither party can unfairly manipulate shared assets or custody rights during a vulnerable time. They believe this legislation promotes fairness and stability for families in transition.

Critics of AB1297 may contend that automatic restraining orders could create unnecessary complications and delays in family law cases. They might argue that such measures could lead to heightened tensions between parties and may not consider the unique circumstances of each individual case.
