I apologise; I have no idea how to proceed. Yes, I have looked it up on Google, but I still do not understand it. Can I just ask for one in the courthouse? Even after we broke up a year ago, my ex still hangs around my neighborhood at night and I have begged him many times to stop.
Yes, you can ask for a restraining order at the courthouse. It’s easier with proof, but your statement alone can work if you feel threatened.
You can get a restraining order if you’re afraid someone might hurt you. However, the court will need evidence to support your claims before issuing it. You’ll need to provide proof to show that your allegations are serious and valid.
