12. Mutual Restraining Orders

Courts are limited by statute in issuing restraining orders against both parties at the
same time. To issue a mutual restraining order enjoining the parties from acts of
abuse defined in Fam C §6320, (1) both parties must personally appear and each
must present written evidence of abuse or domestic violence, and (2) the court
must make detailed findings of fact indicating that both parties acted primarily as
aggressors and that neither party acted primarily in self-defense. Fam C §6305.
