RELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 10, 2026
SAN BERNARDINO, CA─ Beginning Monday, March 9, 2026, all petitions for Civil restraining orders previously filed and heard at the San Bernardino Justice Center will be relocated to the Fontana District.

The Fontana Clerk’s Office public window will be open for all petitions for Civil restraining order matters heard at the Fontana District. Attorneys and parties are encouraged to check the Court’s website (Where Can I File? https://sanbernardino.courts.ca.gov/general-information/where-can-i-file) to confirm in-person filing locations during the business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Court Holidays.
Parties and attorneys are encouraged to continue to use the Court’s electronic filing system for all matters approved for electronic filing (https://sanbernardino.courts.ca.gov/divisions/civil/civil-harassment).
