When filing for divorce in California, both parties are automatically bound by Standard Family Law Restraining Orders (SFLROs). These orders aim to maintain stability during the divorce process. They restrict actions such as removing minor children from the state, making changes to insurance policies, or transferring property without consent or court approval. And they typically remain in effect until the final judgment is entered or the case is dismissed.

While these orders can feel restrictive, they aren’t a penalty—they simply help preserve the status quo. However, those using Mediation for divorce might experience a quicker resolution, allowing for the potential lifting of these orders sooner and greater control over their assets.
