	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 161, as introduced, Campos. Restraining orders.
   Existing law requires a court in a proceeding for dissolution of
marriage or legal separation of the parties to issue a temporary
restraining order enjoining both parties from cashing, borrowing
against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the
beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage held for the benefit
of the parties and their child or children, for whom support may be
ordered. Existing law also authorizes a court in a domestic violence
proceeding to issue ex parte protective orders, as specified.

violence proceeding to issue an ex parte order restraining any party

disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other
coverage held for the benefit of the parties and their child or
children, if any, for whom support may be ordered.
