What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
California
Quick Background
My sister served her husband with a Temporary Restraining Order on March 11, 2013 with proof of service filed on the 12th of March final hearing set for April 2nd. I was also listed as a protected person on that same tro. On the 14th of that same month I filed an Order to Show Cause for Contempt because the respondent in the case broke the restraining order on the 12th specifically the property restraint after I witnessed respondent removing televisions, computers and other items from my sisters residence. Order was granted and case to be heard April 11, 2013. On March 22 both me and my sister were served with restraining orders as original petitions and not responses. On the TRO respondant in the original case stated that there was no current RO's in place even though there was not to mention he filed over the same issues (Estoppel) which I am quite aware of CRC Section 5 on grounds to Quash. In addition to the Perjury but whatever when was the last time a DA prosecuted one of those. Nevertheless, both me an my sister show up for the April 2nd hearing and unfortunately the judge was out of town and everyone's cases had to be heard by a commissioner, of course as a matter of law the officer of the court informed everyone that they could stipulate if they wanted and not have their case heard. Of course the respondent stipulated for purposes of delay since his hearing as petitioner was set for April 11, 2013. Which I think he thinks will give him moving advantage. Nevertheless, I had my sister asked the Judge Pro Te to serve him with the OSC for Contempt which was also set for the 11th. Of course she granted it and served respondent. Now here is where the question is. We all have cases on the same day same time different court houses. The OSC contempt is scheduled for San Fernando and respondants new retaliation OSC tro hearings are in Lancaster what should I do preemptively.
For the record I am not a lawyer, however I have a great deal of legal knowledge as I worked with my father who was an attorney before he passed away. So I am really just looking for questions answered.

Hence the need for preemptive action...
