There is no specific penalty: it could be prosecuted under the Penal Code provision that covers false reports of all kinds, but in practice such prosecution is relatively rare, in part because domestic violence is so broadly defined that a wide range of acts might, conceivably qualify as a crime, and because of a common `belief' that imposing a standard of accuracy or veracity to any meaningful degree would have an inhibitory or chilling effect on reporting, which it's said would allow real crimes to go uninvestigated.
The accusations of domestic violence that accompany petitions for family court restraining or protective orders are not `reports,' or complaints that could spawn criminal charges, and essentially cannot in any legal sense be `false.'
