My question involves a child custody case from the State of: CA
I filed a domestic violence restraining order against my ex (who is also currently charged by the DA with Domestic Battery under 243-E-1).
The court gave me full custody of the children pending the hearing. The sheriff dept has the order to serve it, but have not yet served it.
My question is, is the restraining order in effect, even though it has not been served?
Today would be the day the children would go back to the other parent under the old joint-custody order. I don't want to be in violation of anything if I keep the children and the RO has not yet been served.
Thanks
