Civil Harassment Restraining Order Preparation
Flat $500 preparation of the CH-100 civil harassment restraining order packet for filing in the San Francisco Superior Court.
ADR preparation fee
$500
Flat. Paid to ADR.
SF Superior Court filing fee
$0 (typically waived)
Paid directly to the court, not to ADR.
The standard San Francisco Superior Court filing fee for a civil petition is $435, but Code of Civil Procedure §527.6(x) waives the filing fee in most civil harassment cases involving stalking, sexual assault, or credible threats of violence.
What this matter involves
- A civil harassment restraining order under California Code of Civil Procedure §527.6 protects against harassment, stalking, threats, or violence by someone who is not a close family member, current/former spouse, or dating partner.
- If the parties are in one of those close relationships, the correct form is DV-100 (domestic violence) — ADR does not prepare DV packets.
- ADR's flat prep fee is $500. Most CH-100 cases have no filing fee due to §527.6(x).
- San Francisco hearings on CH-100 petitions are held at the Civic Center Courthouse, 400 McAllister Street.
