Hi, I’m Sina Mohajer. I’m a family law attorney practicing in the Greater Los Angeles County since 2012. I’ve been a contributing member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association and I’ve been rated by Super Lawyer since 2019.

 

ATROs in a Divorce Proceeding

ATROs, what does that mean? Well, ATRO stands for automatic temporary restraining order. Within the ATRO itself, there’s multiple orders that you cannot violate.

Financial Restrictions

In a divorce proceeding, you cannot take liens on properties, you can’t empty bank accounts, you can’t remove the other side from your health insurance, you can’t cash out your 401K or close out your pension, or change even beneficiaries to your life insurance policy. All these things need either an agreement or a court order.

Child Custody Restrictions

If you have kids, a parentage action, or if you have kids in a divorce proceeding, you are prevented from removing the children from the state of California without consent or court order. Even if it’s for a weekend getaway. And you can definitely not change the residence of the minor children as well.
