Restraining Orders
The Process To Request A Restraining Order
To apply for a civil harassment injunction, you must take several steps. But first make sure that:
- A restraining order is right for you.
- You qualify for a civil harassment injunction. You qualify if:
- The person you want to hold back has stalked, molested, sexually assaulted you, or threatened you with violence;
- and the person you want to hold back is your: Neighbor, Roommate, Friend, Family member more than 2 degrees apart, such as an aunt or uncle, niece or nephew, cousins , and more distant relatives, or another person to whom you are not closely related.
- If you and the person you wish to restrain have been together, married or in a relationship, or are closely related (such as a parent, child, sibling, or grandparent), consider whether a domestic violence restraining order is appropriate for your situation on is best suited.
