Section 6305 Of Chapter 1. General Provisions From California Family Law Code >> Division 10. >> Part 4. >> Chapter 1.
6305
. (a) The court shall not issue a mutual order enjoining the
parties from specific acts of abuse described in Section 6320 unless
both of the following apply:
(1) Both parties personally appear and each party presents written
evidence of abuse or domestic violence in an application for relief
using a mandatory Judicial Council restraining order application
form. For purposes of this paragraph, written evidence of abuse or
domestic violence in a responsive pleading does not satisfy the party'
s obligation to present written evidence of abuse or domestic
violence. By July 1, 2016, the Judicial Council shall modify forms as
necessary to provide notice of this information.
(2) The court makes detailed findings of fact indicating that both
parties acted as a primary aggressor and that neither party acted
primarily in self-defense.
(b) For purposes of subdivision (a), in determining if both
parties acted primarily as aggressors, the court shall consider the
provisions concerning dominant aggressors set forth in paragraph (3)
of subdivision (c) of Section 836 of the Penal Code.
