Package 3

Request to Renew Restraining Order After Hearing (ROAH)

Coming Fall 2025


This package is for individuals who already have a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO)—also known as a Restraining Order After Hearing (ROAH)—and want to request a renewal before it expires.

Our guided interviews help you complete form DV-700 (Request to Renew Restraining Order) and any required attachments. Whether or not there have been recent violations, you can ask the court to extend the protection without starting the process over or proving new abuse.

This package is designed to support protected parties seeking continued safety, clarity on the legal process, and step-by-step assistance preparing their renewal request.

What You Receive:

  • Step-by-step digital interviews: complete your CA judicial council forms (just like popular DIY tax-preparation software)

  • Court forms and documents generated with your answers to straightforward questions

  • Filing and service instructions so you can navigate your next steps after completing your paperwork

Package 3 is designed for:

U Do It Legal does not currently offer court filing or service of process services.

However, under California law, parties seeking a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) are not required to pay court filing fees, and the sheriff’s office will serve DVRO paperwork for free. This is a legal protection in place to ensure that survivors of abuse are not burdened with costs when seeking protection through the courts.

Legal solutions made easy.

Videos, glossaries, pleading examples, infographics, and plain-language guides tailored to self-represented litigants (SRLs) navigating family court without lawyers

  • Unlike a court self-help center or law firm, U Do It Legal does not have the triage capacity to sit down with each of our potential customers in a virtual or in-person consultation to determine their eligibility for our services.

    That said, it is our ethical responsibility as a legal service provider to determine prospective clients’ general eligibility for the services they intend to purchase, before they make the purchase.

    This is why we designed our web app so that users must first take a short (less than 1-minute) ‘Eligibility Quiz.’ Once you have cleared the initial eligibility check, our software assesses a few of your case's circumstances to ensure you're then routed to the UDIL package that best fits your legal needs.
