Frequently Asked Questions
Know Your Rights in Santa Barbara County
Emergency Protective Orders
Police can issue an Emergency Protective Order (EPO) on the spot — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — even before you go to court. An EPO is valid for up to 7 days and orders the abuser to leave your home and stay away from you and your children.
Domestic Violence Restraining Orders
You can file for a DVRO at Santa Barbara County Superior Court without an attorney. A temporary restraining order (TRO) can be granted the same day. A full hearing must be held within 21 days. RightsReach can prepare your DV-100 forms for free.
Marsy's Law Rights
As a crime victim in Santa Barbara County, you have constitutional rights under Marsy's Law: the right to be heard at sentencing, the right to restitution, the right to be notified of all proceedings, and the right to be protected from the defendant throughout the case.
Work & Housing Protections
California law entitles you to take time off work for court appearances, medical attention, or safety planning — without losing your job. You also have the right to break your lease and relocate if your safety requires it, with written notice to your landlord.
Victim Compensation
The California Victim Compensation Board (CalVCB) can reimburse you for medical bills, mental health counseling, lost wages, moving expenses, and other costs related to the abuse. You do not need a criminal conviction to apply. Call 1-800-777-9229 or visit victims.ca.gov.
Privacy & Address Confidentiality
California's Safe at Home program (Secretary of State) provides a confidential substitute address so abusers cannot find you through public records, mail, or legal filings. Enrollment is free. Contact the Santa Barbara County DA's victim services unit or call 1-877-322-5227.
