How to Obtain a Protective Order
A Protective Order is a civil court order prohibiting a person from coming near you, your home, work, school or other locations as listed on the order.
Your relationship to the person matters - it will determine what type or order is appropriate, an Order of Protection or an Injunction Against Harassment. An Order of Protection is for people who are or were: 1) closely related to you, or 2) living with you, or 3) in an intimate relationship with you. An Injunction Against Harassment is for people who don't fall into any of those three categories.
