Parentage Act (Part 3 (commencing with Section 7600) of Division
12). When determining whether to make any orders under this
subdivision, the court shall consider whether failure to make any of
these orders may jeopardize the safety of the petitioner and the
children for whom child support is requested, including safety
concerns related to the financial needs of the petitioner and the
children. The Judicial Council shall provide notice of this provision
on any Judicial Council forms related to this subdivision.
   (b) An order issued pursuant to subdivision (a) of this section
shall be without prejudice in an action brought pursuant to the
Uniform Parentage Act (Part 3 (commencing with Section 7600) of

   (1) An order that restitution be paid to the petitioner for loss
of earnings and out-of-pocket expenses, including, but not limited
to, expenses for medical care and temporary housing, incurred as a
direct result of the abuse inflicted by the respondent or any actual
physical injuries sustained from the abuse.
   (2) An order that restitution be paid by the petitioner for
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by a party as a result of an ex parte
order that is found by the court to have been issued on facts shown
at a noticed hearing to be insufficient to support the order.
   (3) An order that restitution be paid by the respondent to any
public or private agency for the reasonable cost of providing
services to the petitioner required as a direct result of the abuse
inflicted by the respondent or any actual injuries sustained
therefrom.
   (b) An order for restitution under this section shall not include
damages for pain and suffering.


6343.  (a) After notice and a hearing, the court may issue an order
requiring the restrained party to participate in a batterer's program

6344.  (a) After notice and a hearing, the court may issue an order
for the payment of attorney's fees and costs of the prevailing party.
   (b) In any action in which the petitioner is the prevailing party
and cannot afford to pay for the attorney's fees and costs, the court
shall, if appropriate based on the parties' respective abilities to
pay, order that the respondent pay petitioner's attorney's fees and
costs for commencing and maintaining the proceeding. Whether the
respondent shall be ordered to pay attorney's fees and costs for the
prevailing petitioner, and what amount shall be paid, shall be
determined based upon (1) the respective incomes and needs of the
parties, and (2) any factors affecting the parties' respective
abilities to pay.



6345.  (a) In the discretion of the court, the personal conduct,
stay-away, and residence exclusion orders contained in a court order
issued after notice and a hearing under this article may have a
duration of not more than five years, subject to termination or
modification by further order of the court either on written

other than the protective orders described in subdivision (a), that

under this article, including, but not limited to, orders for
