What you need to know about restraining orders:

Altercations between family members sometimes require legal intervention similar to restraining orders or domestic violence restraining orders to keep both parties behaving in a civil manner. A restraining order against a family member, spouse, or a person with whom you are in a legitimate relationship is called an Order of Protection. Depending on the severity of the case, the judge may issue an order of protection prohibiting the accused from communicating with you or those involved for no less than six months but no more than a year.

Should you experience harassment or stalking from a non-family member, you may file for a Magistrate’s Court restraining order. Usually, prior police documentation of instances where the accused has harassed or stalked you is required for this type of restraining order.
