Applying for a restraining order? Discover your options!


Questioner

Can you, as a private individual, request a restraining order/contact ban? If so, is this done through civil proceedings? It concerns an extremely annoying ex, who makes all kinds of threats, and often commits a 'bombardment' of text messages (60 per hour) or calls in the middle of the night.

Lawyer

Yes, this can be done through both criminal and civil law. You must file a report or summon respectively.
