More Information on Restraining Orders
In order to obtain a restraining order the person you want to be restrained must be a spouse, ex-spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend, someone with whom the victim has or has had a dating relationship, an immediate family member (mother, father, in-laws, siblings, adult children), or a person with whom a party has a child/ren together. If it's a neighbor then you must file a civil harassment request (we do not do those yet). Furthermore, the acts must have occurred within the last 30 days (the courts are lenient about this especially if there is a good reason for not filing sooner).

Sexual assault.
Placing a person in reasonable apprehension of imminent serious bodily injury to that person or to another.

Engaging in any behavior such as molesting, attacking, striking, stalking, threatening, battering, harassing, telephoning, destroying personal property, contacting the other by mail or otherwise, disturbing the peace of the other party.

The act(s) of abuse/violence must be recent, within thirty days, and the batterer must be a spouse, ex-spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend, someone with whom the victim has or has had a dating relationship, an immediate family member (mother, father, in-laws, siblings, adult children), or a person with whom a party has a children together. A victim that is a target of abuse but does not have the necessary relationship, mentioned above, to the batterer may file a civil harassment restraining order (we do not do these online at the present time but coming soon)

The restraining order can include the following: restraints on personal conduct by the batterer; orders for the batterer to stay-away from the victim's home/work and/or children's school; orders for the batterer to be removed from the residence; child custody and visitation and support orders and other miscellaneous orders.
