A Los Angeles judge granted a three-year restraining order that keeps two photographers away from Nicole Richie and her two young children.

The two men, Ivon Emilio Melo Miguel, 33, and Eduardo Cerri Arrivabene, 29, have been ordered to stay 50 yards away from the mom and her two-year-old daughter, Harlow, and her infant son, Sparrow, except for at "celebrity publicity events."

In court papers obtained last month by ET, Richie cites an October 5 car accident, claiming the photographers "caused a car collision, damaging my vehicle and injuring me while [they] were attempting to take photographs of my family and me."

She added, "I am fearful that this continued presence may cause yet another accident, this time with my infant children in the vehicle."

She added that the photogs' alleged behavior causes "severe emotional distress both to myself and my family."
