Domestic violence: Reclaim Act.

Summary

The Reclaim Act lets a survivor of domestic violence ask a court to issue a pre‑filing order that stops the abuser from starting new lawsuits or discovery against them in any civil, family or small‑claims case. A court must grant the order if the survivor shows, by a preponderance of evidence, that the other party is a domestic‑violence perpetrator and that the pending or proposed litigation is frivolous or abusive. The law also amends the Family Code to streamline restraining‑order hearings and limit intrusive discovery.
