CaliforniaAutomatic temporary restraining orders.
What it does
Existing law authorizes the issuance of temporary restraining orders in proceedings for dissolution of marriage, nullity of marriage, legal separation of the parties, and under the Uniform Parentage Act. Existing law requires that a temporary restraining order issued under these provisions remains in effect until the petition is dismissed, a final judgment is entered, or until further court order. Existing law prohibits the parties subject to a temporary restraining order from, among others, cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their child or children for whom support may be ordered.
More detail
Commencing on January 1, 2027, this bill would further prohibit both parties from allowing a plan to lapse for nonpayment of premiums or for failing to renew insurance, as specified.
