Hey everyone, I’ve been dealing with some stuff and I’m not sure what my options are. Can I file a restraining order against my ex if he’s been watching my property? I have videos of him doing it, plus texts and recordings. Does this count as enough to file for a restraining order? Anyone dealt with something like this before?
That sounds really intense… I’m sorry you’re going through this. I think you can definitely file if there’s evidence like that, especially with him showing up at your property. Maybe try contacting a lawyer to get the full picture?
I had a similar situation. When I went to file for a restraining order, they asked for any proof of threats or actions like that. Texts, videos, and recordings can totally be enough to get a case started. Definitely worth looking into .
Just a thought, but have you reached out to a lawyer yet? Sometimes they can give you a clearer path to filing the order and can help you understand the process better.
You should be able to get a restraining order if the behavior is making you feel unsafe. Just make sure you have all the evidence ready when you go to file, and the process should be smoother. Don’t wait too long, though .
I’m not a lawyer, but I’d say with video footage and texts, you’ve got a strong case. If it were me, I’d definitely report it, and if you need a lawyer to help, I’d get one ASAP.
