How do i get an order of protection?
-
So.. my fiance's ex found me on facebook and has been making threats to me. She didnt blatantly say she would kill me .. but she indicated that she will hurt me and says she wants to fight me. I went to the police theysay they cant do anything b.c she didnt make a direct threat. About 6 months ago..she showed up at my house banging on my door and making threats to me.. I called the police, but they didnt do anything then either b.c they said she was only on the sidewalk when they arrived and thats public property. What can I do to get an order of protection?

go see a judge.
You won't get approved for one. There's no Imminent threat of physical violence towards you, and something that occurred 6 months ago is irrelevant.
If you live in the city, go to your local district attorneys office or if you live in the county, go to your county attorneys office and ask for an order of protection. You will be asked to swear and affirm that the protective order is warranted. IF granted, the person making the threat will then have to be served with the order of protection. The first order is for a short period of time. You and the person making the threat will have to appear in court at a later date so a judge can go over the case to issue a long term protective order. Both sides will have to give their story, and if the judge sides with you, the person that made the threat will be advised by the judge of the conditions of the protective order and be given a copy. Depending on the local law enforcement ageny, the protective order will be put in their database. But don't rely on that. If a protective order is issued, it is always best for a person to carry a copy of the protective order with them in case of an altercation or breech of the order. Hope that helps. Good luck!
